BVSO Funding Requests

Black Volunteer Student Organization Fund

Overview

The BCSC has a long history of providing support to our BVSOs through guidance, mentorship, and funding. If you are a registered Black Volunteer Student Organization (BVSO) interested in receiving financial support from the Black Community Services Center, then you are in the right place! 

Below you will find guidelines on how to apply and receive a grant. We have a set amount of funding set aside to support BVSOs with programming/events. Please apply one quarter before you need the funding. Our limited funds means we will not be able to fulfill every request. Email stanfordbcsc@stanford.edu or Dr. Maya  mayaid@stanford.edu with any questions. 

Information to keep in mind 

• You are welcomed to apply 1x a year
• Submit the application one quarter before you need it. 
• Apply in fall if you need funding for spring. Spring is our biggest giving quarter. 
• We are here if you have questions. Reach out if you have them!
