Northeastern University - Northeastern Students4Giving

2014 Request for Proposals:  Trauma Treatment, Diversity & Inclusion

Northeastern Students4Giving (NS4G), a student-led experiential philanthropy education program at Northeastern University, has announced two funding priorities for the 2014 grant cycle: Trauma Treatment and Diversity & Inclusion. One $10,000 grant will be awarded in each category. Applicants must be located in or serve the Boston communities of Mission Hill, Fenway, Roxbury, and the South End. Applications for both funding tracks are due by March 7, 2014.

For Trauma Treatment, funding will be provided to an organization addressing the effects of trauma on individuals and communities within Boston.  This grant is intended to help individuals and communities that have experienced trauma as the result of a single event, a series of events, or a set of circumstances over an extended period of time.  Services must be informed by an understanding of the lasting and diverse effects trauma may have on clients’ physical and mental health and overall quality of life, as well as on their families and communities.

For Diversity and Inclusion, funding will be provided to an organization working to make Boston a welcoming and inclusive city in which diversity is recognized as a strength.  Specifically, we seek to fund an organization working to:

•  foster contact, communication, understanding, and mutual appreciation among diverse social groups to address the misperceptions that can result when they do not have the opportunity to interact; or
•   empower individuals to actively participate in all aspects of life in the city without discrimination or fear of violence or intimidation, regardless of their race, ethnicity, cultural background, religion, language, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, physical ability, or mental or physical health status.
