The Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement offers funding to support the development of civic engagement courses and programming at Colby. The goal of the Goldfarb Center in offering these funds is to increase the number of civic engagement courses and programming offered at the college across a broad range of disciplines. There are three types of grants are available:
Course Development Grants
The Goldfarb Center will provide funding for up to three (3) grants of up to $2500 for each course. The program intentionally provides maximum flexibility; expenses may include a stipend for the time spent developing the course, costs of materials for development of the course, and other expenses likely to be incurred in delivering the course for the first time.

Departmental Mini Grants
The Goldfarb Center will provide funding for up to four (4) grants of up to $2000. The program aims to provide support for departments or interdisciplinary programs seeking to examine the role of civic engagement in the curriculum.
The program intentionally provides maximum flexibility; the only requirement is that the funds must be used to explore integrating civic engagement courses into the departmental curriculum. Funds may be used for stipend(s) for department members, speakers or consultants, support for departmental retreats or planning sessions, expenses for materials, or costs of activities designed to support the goal of embedding civic engagement into the curriculum.

Previously funded departments include:
Colby Department of Anthropology, 06-07, to support the department’s exploration of the role of civic engagement in the Anthropology department curriculum at Colby.
Co-Curricular Civic Engagement Grants
The Goldfarb Center will provide funding to reimburse for expenses of up to $1,000 for up to four projects per year. The goal of the Goldfarb Center is offering these funds to support opportunities for academic departments to develop programming that engages students in activities related to the academic discipline outside of traditional coursework, and which meets a community-defined need.
The program intentionally provides maximum flexibility; expenses may include costs of materials, promotional expenses, costs for refreshments, or taxi vouchers for student travel. Please click here for the Co-Curricular Civic Engagement Grants RFP.
We welcome applications for all of our programs regardless of academic major, department, or affiliation. It is our goal to engage the entire Colby community in forums that bring us together to discuss the important topics and issues of our time.
