Statement of Funding from dPS:
The Duke Partnership for Service (dPS) has historically been able to make “MiniGrants” for transportation and other elements of service initiatives. With recent shifts in funding policies, dPS will no longer be providing financial support moving forward. dPS will continue to serve as an umbrella service organization, creating capacity for student service organizations to continue to do ethical and intentional service through the Fellowship Program and other capacity-building events such as the Student Volunteer Fair and student organization mixers. Requests for SOFC funding will be honored for groups with events open to all students.
