The Greek Life Council (GLC) Mini-Grants provides Greek letter organizations with an opportunity to request funding for various events, especially those that require less funding and may be chapter-specific. The aim of the Mini-Grants is to provide chapters with funding support to improve their chapter operations and culture in a variety of ways. The structure of the Mini-Grants is open-ended to allow chapters to be creative in the events and initiatives they propose. Examples of potential events or initiatives that could be proposed including, but are not limited to: house improvement initiatives, diversity and inclusion programming, sexual violence prevention and harm reduction education, sustainability initiatives, mental health events, and more.
Upon the conclusion of the event, we would also like you to submit a short summary, including your personal evaluation of the event and its outcome, as well as how you were able to use the funds. The summary will only need to be about 1-2 paragraphs long and is due one week after the event’s conclusion.
Through the GLC Mini-Grants, you will be able to request funding for events and initiatives either open to campus, in coordination with one or more other chapters, or exclusive to your chapter. That being said, preference will be given to events open to a wider section of the student body as well as co-sponsored events.
If you have any questions about what may or may not be permitted through this program or would like to speak with a GLC representative to talk more about a potential proposal, please reach out to the Greek Life Council at
Greek.Leadership.Council@dartmouth.edu or email the GLC chair at audrey.y.kim.27@dartmouth.edu
Please note the following events will be given priority:
- Events sponsored by multiple Greek organizations
- Events that outwardly improve the image of the Greek community at Dartmouth College
- Events that have an educational focus
- Events beyond the funding capability of an individual organization
- Events that have previously been funded by the GLC
- Events that service groups that are not usually given funding/a venue on campus
We will not fund merch for chapters, or chapter promotional materials (websites, social media accounts).
We cannot fund any sort of equipment that will be used at future events with an alcoholic focus (i.e. pong materials)
All events we fund must be dry
We typically limit chapters to one food mini grant approval/term, but reach out to the chair or the council if you feel an exception is warranted.
The GLC requests that the person(s) requesting the funding (or knowledgable representatives of their chapter) be available to attend the GLC Meeting (either in person or virtually) the following week during which their budget proposal will be discussed.
Please plan on attending these meetings, unless explicitly told you don't need to attend by the GLC.
If you have extenuating circumstances, please text Holden Johnson at (650) 228-6925.
