Outreach Funding

Outreach Funding

The first deadline for 2022 funding opportunities has closed. Please continue to check this page for future 2022 funding opportunities. 

Our office helps fund outreach and engagement projects that connect research, teaching and creative work with communities external to CU Boulder around Colorado and beyond and fit with the campus' strategic priorities of fostering innovation, training tomorrow’s leaders and positively impacting humanity. The annual CU Boulder Outreach Awards as well as our office's Community Impact and Micro Grant programs fund project-related expenses such as, stipends, materials, supplies, equipment, travel and more. Each funding type has its own selection criteria, application requirements and allowable expenses.
