Campus & Local Activism
Through the Action Alliance program Campus Progress promotes progressive ideas and actions that create more just and equitable communities through the strategic development of youth-led local and state wide organizations and campaigns. These campaigns cover a wide range of issue areas from protecting immigrant rights to creating LGBTQ resource centers.
The Action Alliances consist of small grants and/or help in planning and executing a campaign. You can receive support for your campaign by applying for one or both of the following:
- Organizing Grants: You will receive a grant of up to $1,500 a year to help with websites, flyers or whatever else you might need to make your campaign a success. Organizing Grant applications are accepted year round.
- Progressive Partnerships: An experienced Campus Progress organizer will work with you to develop your campaign plan, offer guidance and training and help connect you to other activists in your community. The deadline for Progressive Partnership applications is October 2, 2011.

Applicants only need to complete one application for both the Organizing Grant and Progressive Partnership. Just indicate that you are applying for both when asked.
