We hope that you will consider applying for a grant from the Development Innovation Fund! The Innovation Fund is meant to inspire employees to create initiatives that are in line with the University’s goals and mission and will help maximize philanthropy to Notre Dame. Individuals or teams can submit proposals for up to $5,000 of funding. Ideally, submissions will identify cost-effective innovations as well as new efforts to drive results and teamwork.

The application is included below and the deadline has been extended to Friday, June 2.

We would also like to take this time to invite you to a brainstorming session on Wednesday, May 10. From 3:00-5:00 p.m., members of the Innovation Fund review committee will be in the Family Room to help you brainstorm, flesh out an idea, or answer any Innovation Fund related questions. There will also be treats!

We hope that you will submit an innovative project for FY18! See you Wednesday!
