Faculty and Staff Grant Program Guidelines
2025-2026
Background
As part of its commitment to create public awareness of the needs of the college,
promote the college to the community, and to raise funds to support the students,
faculty, staff, and facilities at Glendale Community College, 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 2018-2025 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 2025-2026
academic year (and must be spent in full by June 30, 2026).
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.
