YFund Pitch Day
March 31, 2017 - April 1, 2017
The YFund provides funding for social justice initiatives within the Campus Y and on UNC’s campus as a whole. The goals of the YFund are to maintain a double bottom line of fiscal value and social justice impact; teach important skills to student applicants and students involved in the selection process; and ensure fiscal responsibility within the Y. The YFund aims to fund new initiatives that meet the following eight criteria:
- Social justice impact – Does this project fit the Campus Y’s mission? Does it address an unmet social need at UNC or in the greater community?
- Clarity – Is this project easily understandable?
- Feasibility – Can this project be implemented successfully?
- Fiscal responsibility – Does this project maximize the Campus Y’s dollars?
- Collaboration – Does this project leverage partnerships from within and outside the Y?
- Sustainability – Does this project have the capacity to support itself once seed funding runs out?
- Evaluation – Does this proposal include tools to measure impact?
To apply for the YFund, applicants must submit an Application. The YFund deadlines for Fall 2016 will be:
-
Round 1: applications due: Tuesday January 24th, pitch day: Saturday January 28th
-
Round 2: applications due Tuesday March 28th, pitch day: Saturday April 1st
