OCE Seed Funding
The Office of Community Engagement supports projects that are co-created between Stanford and community organizations, efforts that focus on accelerating solutions to affordability, education, health, and sustainability challenges in our region.
Over the past two years, OCE used seed fund awards to encourage collaborations that bring our communities together to identify a central problem that can be addressed with Stanford’s academic resources. The work is considered central to living our values in the Stanford Vision: To harness our expertise to make advancements for the common good.
The 2023 awards draw from many of the more than 135 units on Stanford campus recognized "community engagement hubs," defined by OCE as the offices and units that engage in sustained community partnerships, involve faculty, staff and students, dedicate resources to sustain the partnership, and practice principles of ethical and effective service.
Additionally, OCE is supporting a project that will be chosen in the 2023 Global Health Seed Grant program. The call for proposals of the Center for Innovation in Global Health is open through March 30. Learn more and apply.
The 2023 community collaborations stretch from the Bay Area to the Central Valley.
The community collaborations in 2022 include projects in education and health.
The community collaborations in 2021 include projects in affordability/social services, arts, education, and health.
