Innovation in Inclusive Excellence Grants

The Innovation in Inclusive Excellence Grants (formerly known as the Chancellor’s Diversity Challenge Fund) is a funding opportunity to support innovative University-level activities, events or projects that have the potential to enhance diversity, promote equity and foster inclusion throughout the Charlotte campus. Open to faculty and staff, these grants provide modest resources with a preference for projects that are rooted in high-impact, evidence-based practices; involve cross-cultural collaborations; hold the most significant potential for sustainable success; and align with the strategic mission, vision and goals of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Projects selected for funding are restricted to a maximum award amount up to $10,000.
