The MCNCE network partners with the Alliance for Campus Community Engagement and together, we received grant funding for the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance. Our Montana colleges and universities, and their staffs and students, regularly organize impactful service projects, and actively support students in building connections and ties to their communities, supporting retention and completion, as well as developing citizenship skills.
In honor and observance of 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, these funds (from $1250-2500) will support campus-led service projects that engage students, faculty, staff, and community members in remembrance and civic action aligned with 9/11 Day, the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Applicants are encouraged to partner with local organizations that address needs of the campus and/or surrounding community such as:
-Hunger Relief (Meal Pack, Food Drive, etc.)
-Care Package Assembly and Distribution
-Veteran or First Responder Appreciation
-Disaster Response, Environmental Stewardship/Conservation
-Other
Target volunteer engagement of at least 100* individuals per campus including faculty, staff, students, and community members (*per $2500 grant, target of at least 50 volunteers per $1250 grant) . Projects must be conducted between September 1 and September 25, 2026.
