This is the application for the Equity Fund of the Women's Classical Caucus (wccclassics.org). The WCC Equity Fund is a microgrant fund providing financial assistance to individuals who are WCC members so they might succeed in the field of Classics through professional engagement with other members of the field. This fund is intended to provide support for many needs, including (but not limited to):

- Childcare/caregiver support at or during the SCS/AIA annual meeting
- Financial support for a legal consultation
- Assistance with providing accommodations at professional conferences for members with disabilities (guides, transportation, etc.)
- Parental, family care, or medical leave support
- Professional Development support

The amount disbursed to each individual will vary depending on the year. Individual awards will not exceed $1000 within a 12-month period, and new applicants will have priority.

The WCC Equity Fund is supported by WCC’s operating budget, which comes directly from membership dues and donations. We have a limited amount of funds, and we attempt to distribute these funds as equitably as possible based on need, amount, and timeframe. We ask that any applicant also pursue other avenues of support and indicate these along with a detailed budget in their application.

Eligibility:
Any individual requesting grant support must be a WCC member in good standing when they apply and for the year in which they are requesting the funds. The funds must be for use by the individual applying (i.e., not for or on behalf of a group or organization).

Requirements:
Applicants must give an explanation of need, describe how the funds will be spent, list other potential avenues for support, and provide a detailed budget. (N.B. Applicant can include a comprehensive list in this form or email a line-item budget to WCCTreasurer2021@gmail.com).

Donating to the WCC Equity Fund

We invite donations to help support this fund so we can continue to offer it to members who need financial help for opportunities that will help them pursue their goals and connect with others in the field. To donate, please click on the “donate” button at the top of the page on the WCC website (wccclassics.org).
