2012 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service Collegiate Challenge Grants

Missouri Campus Compact is proud to announce the mini-grantees of the MLK 2012 Collegiate Challenge. The goal of the MLK Day of Service grants is to honor the memory of Dr. King by making the national holiday a day of service. Mini-grantees build projects that are dynamic and relevant by combining meaningful service, thoughtful reflection, education on the life and work of Dr. King, and opportunities for sustained service and ongoing community involvement.

Missouri Campus Compact as a subgrantee recipient is responsible for overseeing the mini-grant process for the southwest cluster (Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) including orchestrating the application and selection process and disseminating funds.
