Black communities have shown undying resilience and strength, yet institutionalized and systemic anti-Black racism persists in our national and local communities—threatening well-being across various domains of life. The University of Miami’s Office of Civic and Community Engagement, Multicultural Student Affairs, and Butler Center for Service and Leadership are proud to launch new racial justice grants to support service, research, and/or programmatic activities that center on race, racial justice, and racial equity with a focus on Black communities on campus and/or in South Florida.
The grants support interdisciplinary teams of faculty, staff, community partners, and students to implement tangible initiatives to challenge anti-Black racism and empower Black communities on and off campus. Part of President Julio Frenk’s 15-point plan in pursuit of racial justice, this grant program aims to support the development of the University’s diverse faculty, students, and staff while fostering a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Applications are solicited to support community-based scholarship and activities that promote impactful and lasting change related to social justice among Black communities in the local South Florida community and/or the University.
