Your good ideas help enhance student life. Tell us about a film screening, conference, exhibit, performance, or other activity and you could be awarded up to $1000 towards making it happen.

 

The Good Ideas Fund is open to all full- or part-time U of T students and to any U of T student group on all campuses

 

Funding priorities for the GIF include:

  • Activities or projects that reflect the Hart House Vision
  • Activities or projects that enhance or have a significant impact on student life on campus
  • Activities or projects open to all students and that benefit all students
  • Activities that promote diversity, collaboration and interaction between student groups

Applications will be assessed on how well they meet these criteria and the quality of the impact they have on the U of T student community. Successful applicants are eligible to receive up to $1,000 in funding for the Summer 2013-14 academic term, for on-campus events only.

 

Applicants must submit their application a minimum of four weeks before the event. AND, Please note that to be considered, applications must also be submitted before the following dates: June 3rd, July 1st and August 5th, 2013 – as they are reviewed once per month by the student committee. Meaning that you should submit at least 4 weeks prior to your event and before the dates above to be considered for the following month.

 

We will begin accepting applications for the Summer 2013/14 academic term starting May 15th, 2013. Deadlines for the entire 2013-2014 year will be posted by the end of September 2013.

 

The Good Ideas Fund will award a total of $11,000 to student groups on campus for the 2013-14 academic year. We will accept applications on a rolling basis until this amount has been fully dispersed.

 

We encourage you to review all FAQs and information available in the links on this page before applying. Many of your questions will be answered there.
