Funding Opportunity: Teagle Foundation Cornerstone: Learning for Living
URL: https://www.teaglefoundation.org/Call-for-Proposals/RFPs/Cornerstone-Learning-for-Living
Purpose: To reinvigorate the role of the humanities in general education, and, in doing so, expose a broad array of students to the power of the humanities; help students of all backgrounds build a sense of belonging and community; strengthen the coherence and cohesiveness of general education; and increase teaching opportunities for humanities faculty through two types of grants:
- Planning grants support the establishment of criteria for inclusion of works of literature and philosophy and generate a consensus list of transformative texts, along with a policy for how texts from the consensus list will be used across sections of a gateway course(s) (aimed at incoming students).
- Implementation grants support institutions to enact concrete plans for comprehensive and sustainable curriculum development or redesign efforts.
Eligibility: Proposals are expected to be led by tenure-track faculty to ensure faculty buy-in for curricular change and that such changes can be institutionalized.
Funding: Planning grants: up to $25,000 over 6-12 months
Implementation grants: up to $300,000 over 2 years
