Proposals will be accepted until April 18, 2025 and must include the following information:
- Applicant’s name, institution, and email address
- Event name, date, and anticipated number of attendees

AFFECT will review proposals on an ongoing basis and render funding decisions by the end of May 2025. The amount granted will depend on the number of accepted proposals. We anticipate repeating this call for funding proposals annually. The funding conditions are the acknowledgement of AFFECT’s sponsorship, a brief follow-up statement of impact and a prompt return of funds if the event is cancelled, or funds are not used.
