Description
The Stanford Associates Grant Program, administered annually by the Stanford Alumni Association on behalf of the Stanford Associates Board of Governors, supports campus projects that uniquely engage Stanford alumni as volunteers and participants. The program prioritizes initiatives that are innovative, impactful, and require funding due to a lack of available budgeted resources. Projects should be one-time efforts or have the potential for ongoing growth, with the aim of deepening alumni involvement in new and creative ways.
