MADISON, Wis.—The Wisconsin Institute for Citizenship and Civil Dialogue (WICCD) invites faculty, staff, and students at the Universities of Wisconsin (UWs) to apply for grants that enhance democracy through civil dialogue in a robust marketplace of ideas.
WICCD offers grants each fall and spring in four areas: research, events and related activities, assessment, and curriculum and professional development. A total of $90,000 is budgeted for the Fall 2025 grant cycle. WICCD is particularly interested in proposals that cross campuses, cross disciplines, and involve community partners.
Applications for the Fall 2025 grant cycle are due by 5 p.m. on October 15. Applications are now being accepted here: WICCD Grant Application. A funding decision will be communicated no later than November 15, 2025.
More information on the grant program, application process, criteria, selection process, and use of funds can be found at wisconsin.edu/wiccd/wiccd-grant-program/.
Successful recipients must submit a report to WICCD on the project’s outcome.
