Student Organization Micro-grant

The SAVE Student Club Micro-Grant provides up to $300 to student-led organizations to fund events that further equality, visibility, and connection. Whether you are planning a voter registration drive, a town hall, or a celebration of queer joy, this grant is designed to remove financial barriers.

We support all student leaders. We understand that advocacy looks different on every campus. That is why this grant is open to both officially recognized student organizations and independent/unofficial groups operating on campuses across South Florida.

This process is designed to be a professional development experience. By applying, you will gain real-world skills in grant writing, budgeting, and impact reporting.

What We Offer:

Funding: Up to $300 per approved proposal to cover catering, supplies, and event costs.
Inclusivity: Eligibility for both university-recognized clubs and independent student coalitions in South Florida.
Mentorship: A guided application process that teaches you "Active Voice" writing, budget justification, and strategic planning.

We treat our student grantees like professional partners. In exchange for funding, you will learn how to measure success using data and how to produce a professional Impact Report and Video Testimonial. These are tangible achievements you can add to your professional portfolio or resume.
