Looking for program funding for your organization? McSpadden Public Issues Forum [MPIF] grants are available to fund events and activities with a clear public affairs component, and that are sponsored by recognized Dartmouth student organizations. McSpadden Funds will cover up to 50 percent of the cost of programs and events.
MPIF funding is available for recognized Dartmouth College undergraduate student organization-sponsored events and activities with a clear public affairs component.
Funding is limited to specific public issues programs, events, and activities and not for general organizational use, entertainment, gifts, etc.
Funds are available to offset public program expenses, including honoraria, travel, advertising, printing, and receptions.
Approval is contingent upon the applicant speaking with the College Events office (ext. 2923) and confirming that the proposed program does not directly conflict with other events. MPIF supports only one event on any given day or time slot and does not support programs scheduled concurrently with other Rockefeller Center programs.
A program summary is required for funds to be released to organizations approved for funding. Immediately following the applicant’s program, the report should be completed and directed to the associate director who will make the transfer of funds once a summary report is received.
Acknowledgment of "Rockefeller/McSpadden Public Issues Forum" is required on all forms of promotion and advertising (e.g., posters, articles, news releases, handouts, etc.) as well as in the introduction of the program or speaker. Failure to do so may jeopardize release of funds.
