Description
The Teaching Fund is a donor fund of the American Philosophical Association (APA) supporting the APA-AAPT Teaching Hubs and other philosophy teaching initiatives and programs. It strongly favors seed funding that helps new, innovative pilot projects get started rather than long-term, repeat, or sustaining support for established efforts.
The APA prefers projects that have already secured local support and can serve as models for other institutions, particularly when recipients are willing to share information about their work. Requests for ongoing projects should demonstrate the potential to obtain continuing support from other sources. Lectures or lecture series at a single college or university are not ordinarily funded unless they convincingly demonstrate impact beyond the host institution.
