Guidelines for Just Talk events:
We will give preference to events that center on issues pertaining to LGBTQIA-related issues, but we will consider proposals that focus on other issues.
- Briefly and clearly delineate the social justice rationale for your proposed event.
- Which campus groups might be interested?
- Will you invite members of the greater Grinnell community?
- What do you hope to gain by organizing this event at this moment?
List your itemized budgetary needs. Please include rationales for honoraria and travel and lodging expenses (if applicable), cost for food or refreshments, and any costs that will be offset by funding from other sources.
For purposes of publicity (including calendar notification, website display, or other venues) we ask that the event be labeled “Just Talk.” The subtitle can be whatever your group deems appropriate. For example, last spring we offered an event titled “Just Talk: A Trans-Related Conversation on Legislation and the Law.” We request this in the hope that the greater college community will come to understand Just Talk as a regular and continuing series for which interested groups can access funding from the Center.
Please consider applying today.
If you have any questions about how to outline your proposal relative to these guidelines, please contact Steve Andrews or Jan Graham. We are happy to help.
