Funding

Funding for the current funding round is open until Feb 1st, 2009. The following funding round closes March 1st, 2009.

There are two main categories of funding from RPIRG.

1.   Working Groups (WGs) are often referred to as the heart of a PIRG. WGs are semi-autonomous groups of students and community members who organize around specific issues of environmental and social justice. These groups operate on a consensus-based decision making model, which aims to reduce as much as possible the coercive elements often times present in other decision making models. Upon approved application, a Working Group will receive: support and funding of up to $500 per semester, space on the RPIRG webpage, access to office resources, networking access, and are still able to apply for Project/Event funding.
Check out some examples of other PIRG's working groups:
 APIRG: Alternatives to the Canadian Banking System
 SFPIRG: Climate Change Action Group
 OPIRG McMaster: Community Volunteer Action Group

2.  Projects/Events funding is designed to fund individuals or groups who      plan to carry out a project or event with specific start and end dates. Examples of Project/Event funding include, but are not limited to: Hosting Speakers, Speakers Series', Hosting Conferences,  and Attending Conferences.
