NSPIRG offers several funding options for community and students to meet their needs.
Community Funding Rounds are offered throughout the year, with grants of up to $500 for social and environmental justice initiatives. The grant application can be found here:
Working Groups are collectives of students and/or community members working around a specific issue, which require more dedicated funding year-round. Working Groups can receive up to $400 in their first year and $1200 in following years ($400 per semester of fall, winter, spring/summer) for their organizing efforts and have more discretion of where to spend their funds.

Research Funding is also available through NSPIRG. If you have an idea for a research project connected to social or environmental justice, we would love to hear about it! We pay researchers for their time and labour through honoraria each semester, with a max of $1,000 a year.
