These small grants support impactful activities, programs, projects, and/or applied research that align with the following goals:

• To cultivate kindness, compassion, and gratitude toward each other and ourselves.
• To engage hardships, setbacks and failures with compassion and vulnerability, and as rich opportunities for learning and growth.
• To foster connectedness, belonging and community.
• To illuminate the connections between group or personal identities (cultural, racial, ethnic, gender, etc.) and the sustainability of the UW community and environment.
