BVSO/BGVSO Funding Request Form

The Black Community Services Center has a long history of providing support to our Black Volunteer Student Organizations (BVSOs) and Black Graduate Student Volunteer Student Organizations (BGVSOs) through guidance, mentorship, and funding. This form is for registered BVSOs interested in receiving financial support from the Black Community Services Center.

Below you will find guidelines on how to apply and receive a grant. Please apply one quarter before you need the funding. We have a limited amount of funds set aside to support BVSOs and  we will not be able to fulfill every request. Email stanfordbcsc@stanford.edu & Dom Johnson  domjohns@stanford.edu with any questions. 

Information to Keep in Mind

  • You can apply 1x a year
  • You can request up to $250. 
  • We will review applications until we hit our $2,250 max for the quarter. 
  • Fill out the application one quarter before you need it. 
  • Apply in fall if you need funding for spring. Spring is our biggest giving quarter.
