Too often, we can’t do cool things at Columbia because we don’t have the money. Well, CCSC has those funds! You supply us with the idea, and we supply you with the money. Because to be honest, this place could use some spicing up. So get creative, get crazy, and get moving!

Open your mind and think big, because we’re pretty much open to anything. Projects relating to both on- and off- campus activities will be considered; the only real restriction is that your project must produce some sort of product (i.e. you can’t just ask for money for tickets to the next Knicks game for you and your friends).

So why are we doing this, you might ask? Well, we’ve asked you (the students), and we’ve listened. We think that these grants are a way of addressing several of the largest campus issues of the past semester (as well as perennial issues): stress, mental health and wellness, general feelings of campus malaise, the war on fun, etc. So we’re just going to throw money at these problems, you ask? Well, in a sense, yes! But we’re asking you to help us. CCSC is a limited body of individual students and we can only do so much, and have only so many ideas (and sometimes they suck!). This is an attempt to tap into the most important resource at this school — you! So take it upon yourself to think about what you see on campus. Then go out and do it! And don’t worry about money…that’s what we’re here for.
