The Southwestern College Philanthropy Board (SCPB) in conjunction with the Non-profit Leadership class will award one grant of $1,000 to any non-profit organization, church, or school focused on helping students and advocacy for their families in the Cowley County area.  

Applications are due by March 31 and the winner will be announced on April 13. 

“This is an opportunity for your organization to receive funds that align with our needs statement,” says SC student Cierra Harrison, a member of the Non-profit Leadership class.

The SCPB was developed from the Students4Giving Campus Compact grant awarded in August of 2008.  With this funding, Southwestern created the SCPB as well as the Non-profit Leadership class offered on the main campus to explore all aspects of the philanthropic process.  The SCPB is committed to developing an opportunity for students to explore philanthropy, non-profit organizations, community partnerships, and available grant resources.  The SCPB and the class work together annually to distribute grant funding to community-based non-profit organizations.
