UMADD Mini-Grants Thanks to the generous support of the CarMax Foundation, MADD is offering qualifying groups a mini-grant to help implement evidence-based prevention programs that focus on college-related drinking problems on campuses and/or in the surrounding communities.
Priority for funding will be given to applications that:
- incorporate the UMADD projects recommended on this website
- projects that seek to change environmental factors (laws, policies, enforcement) or populations (student body, anyone under 21) versus projects that seek individual behavior change (motivational speaker, crashed car exhibit, basic alcohol education)
- include partnership with multiple groups, both on campus and in the community
- support or enhance law enforcement efforts
Mini-grants awards:
- have a maximum of $500
- will be reimbursed upon project completion (with original receipts)
- require a completed project evaluation
