Stanford Associates Grant Program
Once a year (June-August) Stanford Alumni Association, on behalf of the Stanford Associates Board of Governors, invites campus departments to submit proposals for Stanford Associate grants. These grants are designed to provide one-time or seed funding for projects that uniquely engage alumni volunteers and participants in their work.
In October, the Stanford Associates Board of Governors convenes to select grant recipients from submitted proposals. Grant recipients are notified in early November. A list of previous grant awardees can be viewed on our website.
- Engages Stanford alumni as volunteers and participants in new and innovative ways.

- Requires funding because budgeted funds are unavailable.

This opportunity is open to all departments for any Stanford staff and faculty.
