Thanks to the generosity of thousands of Humboldt Loyalty Fund and
Humboldt Parent & Family Fund donors, Humboldt Loyalty Grants are available
again this year to support important programs across campus.  The University
estimates there will be about funding available for about 10-12 projects in
the 2015/2016 academic year, with up to $20,000 available per project.

Projects funded last year include:

 * Specialized Printing Equipment for the Dept. of Geography
 * An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for the College of Natural Resources & Sciences
 * Echo Sounder Equipment for the R/V Coral Sea
 * Micro-plate Reader for the Biological Sciences Core Facility
 * Equipment Upgrades for the Institute for Health & Human Performance in the
   College of Professional Studies
 * Specialized Chairs for the Student Disability Resource Center
 * Resource Materials for Immigration and Diversity housed in the University
   Library

This will be our second year utilizing Donor Voice, an initiative allowing
donors who give to the Humboldt Loyalty Fund/ or the /Humboldt Parent &
Family Fund the chance to rank submitted projects.  Last year 2,000 donors
gave to one of these two funds and more than 200 of these donors participated
in ranking the projects they felt were most important on campus. 

The donor rankings from Donor Voice are compiled and submitted to the Deans
and Vice Presidents.  Deans and Vice Presidents consider the input from
donors along with their own recommendations.  They then submit a final
ranking of projects to President Rossbacher who makes funding allocations by
the end of April. 

*Details for submission:*

Proposals are due to the relevant Dean or Vice President no later than March
6th.

Full submission guidelines are attached (PDF).
