Grants and Funding
Chapter Development Grants
NYSC AAUP chapters in good standing may apply for funds for chapter development, including to support action campaigns and respond to crisis situations. Funds can be used to sponsor recruitment events, pay for website/Zoom accounts, t-shirts, banners, audio equipment rentals for rallies, etc. The decision to award such a grant will be made by the NYSC AAUP Executive Council. A review of applications will be conducted on a rolling basis and we will normally have a decision to you within two weeks. Grants will be awarded based on availability of funds. If an application is not approved due to lack of available funding, that application will be considered first when funds are available.
If you have questions or need help send us an email at nyscaaup@gmail.com and put “Chapter Development Grant” in the title of the email.
AAUP National offers Grant Funds for CBC Chapters
To better support AAUP chapters in their work, the AAUP Council has approved two new grant funds that will provide resources to chapters pursuing key pieces of litigation and organizing their members.
Collective Bargaining Chapter Litigation Fund
This fund provides grants to AAUP collective bargaining chapters to support legal cases of importance to the broader higher education community or that may have significant precedential value for other AAUP chapters.
Collective Bargaining Chapter Mobilization Fund
The purpose of this fund is to provide grants to AAUP collective bargaining chapters to support new member organizing drives and other member mobilization activities such as contract campaigns or issues campaigns.
See details about the grant funds on our Union Chapter Services page.
