Mini Grants

In an effort to empower individuals across the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University to pursue transformative inclusion, the Becoming Community initiative has funded a variety of mini grants.

• The Becoming Community Professional Development and Travel Fund supported conference travel and professional development opportunities related to inclusion, including to support dissemination of Mellon-funded work.
• The Mellon Inclusion Research Projects examined important questions about how our institutions promote or inhibit inclusion.
• The Mellon Inclusion Research, Practice, and Implementation Initiative supported faculty, staff and student groups who were conducting projects designed to improve inclusivity at CSB/SJU.
• Together, faculty, staff, and student recipients of Becoming Community mini grants were doing work that is needed in order to transform CSB/SJU into a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable community.
