Established in 2010, the Faith Fund provides both event-specific support for activities that consider religious and spiritual themes and non-event based support for religious and spiritual organizations. Religious and non-religious Penn student organizations are eligible to apply for event funding.

The Fund is administered by the Office of the Chaplain and funding decisions are made by a representative student group convened by PRISM, Penn’s interfaith and student religious life leadership organization.

To apply:

• The Faith Fund will be using the Common Funding Application for all grants. This application allows you to simply create an event, fill in the required information, and then it will recommend funding sources that make sense for your request.
• Plan ahead! – Faith Fund will review applications every 2 weeks.  Please see the list of deadlines below.  For event funding you must apply to the Faith Fund at least 2 weeks prior to your scheduled event.
• Spring 2024 Application Deadlines:
  • 2/22
  • 3/14
  • 3/28
  • 4/4
