Gathering Grants were created to facilitate the getting-together of members from around the world. With twelve (12) grants being offered per calendar year, at up to $250 USD per grant, members are encouraged to host casual social and networking events with colleagues in their area.
Some ideas for Gatherings could include (but are not limited to):
- Coffee - invite local members to a coffee shop and pay for their drinks.
- Picnic - supply the food and drink and invite all local members to join you in a park.
- Party - use the grant to purchase party supplies and food, and invite local members and prospective members to join you in a free venue to celebrate community.
We look forward to seeing your creative ideas for bringing people together!
Grant Process
- Gathering Grants are only available for active International ACAC members.
- Gathering Grants are given out on a first-come, first-served basis after a review from members of the Advocacy and Outreach Committee.
- Selection is based on the plan for the gathering and the region where it will take place. Emphasis will be placed on spreading grants over multiple regions.
- The 2025 Gathering Grant Application will be available until twelve grants are distributed.
