About the Anchor University Grants Programs

As an Anchor University, the mission is to align its resources and efforts to cultivate purposeful, long-term, mutually beneficial community partnerships that confront systemic inequities, transform the lives of our students, and strengthen our communities. In alignment with the mission, the Anchor University Grant program was designed to encourage and support community-engaged research and projects.

Those eligible to apply are Sac State faculty members (tenured, tenure track, part-time), staff members, students, and student organizations for either the Strategic Investment Grant or the Priority Grant. Please review each grant offering to learn more about the criteria and requirements to understand which one is best for you to apply. Note that applicants may only apply for one of the grants, not for both.

Apply for the Strategic Investment Grant ($5,000) Apply for the Priority Grant ($15,000)
