Through the Macalester Fund’s Racial Equity Support designation, the college offers funding for programs, projects, and events that advance racial justice at Macalester. All students, faculty, and staff are eligible to submit proposals through the Racial Justice Project Fund. Proposals are reviewed by a committee of staff, faculty, and students. Projects may include speakers and events, art exhibits and installations, performances, partner programs with community organizations, and reading and dialogue groups. Collaborative, creative, and innovative projects are especially encouraged.
