Background
As part of its commitment to advancing Glendale Community College’s mission by encouraging community members, alumni, donors, and philanthropic supporters to invest in programs and opportunities that empower students to achieve their educational, career, and life goals, the Board of Directors of the Glendale College Foundation has provided yearly funding for a grant program for faculty and staff.
These grants are in addition to other funds the Foundation provides to the college each year and are meant to support faculty- and staff-led projects that align with the College’s Institutional Strategic Plan.
Eligibility
All Glendale Community College staff and faculty members are eligible to apply and every grant application that meets the criteria articulated below will be considered.
Criteria
- The project will have a significant impact on the College
- The project supports the College’s 2025-2030 Institutional Strategic Plan
- Other funding sources are not available, or if other funding has been awarded, a gap remains to be filled
Grant recipients may be asked to provide a professional development opportunity to allow others at the College to learn from the innovations and services provided and/or present to the Foundation Board of Directors.
Grant Terms
The minimum grant award is $5,000. Grant funds must be spent during the 2026-2027 academic year (and must be spent in full by June 30, 2027).
This is a competitive grant program which receives more applications than it can fund. The total number of grants awarded by the Foundation Board of Directors is tied to our fundraising success and the number of qualified applicants.
