Candace Silas, one of the 2020-21 LLCC Innovation in Diversity and Inclusion Grant recipients says, “The IDI grant was just what the Workforce Equity Initiative needed! WEI did not have marketing or retention funds designated in our first round of funding, and we needed to do a more robust media campaign and enhance our retention efforts. With the help of the IDI grant, we were able not only to meet our grant deliverables but we exceeded them. It also gave WEI the opportunity to show our external evaluators and funding source that LLCC is committed to promoting and celebrating diversity and inclusion.”

LLCC’s IDI Grant is once again available! It is an internal opportunity for any LLCC faculty, staff, department, student or student club, and can be used to address a need and/or to promote and celebrate diversity. IDI Grant application proposals will be accepted through Jan. 31.

There is $3,500 available to be awarded in spring 2022. More information and helpful resources (standards of evaluation, project samples and more) are now available on the Innovation in Diversity & Inclusion Grant SharePoint page (be sure you’re logged in to Office 365 to access).
