[Agvisors] GPSC Basic Needs Microgrant

[Flink, Danielle - (danielleflink)]

Hello Agvisors and Supports -

I came across this opportunity to support basic needs of students in the LGBTQ Affairs newsletter. The maximum is $200. Description and link below. Since the amounts are so low and the application closed so quickly last time, please send this directly to the students we all have off the top of our heads who we know could benefit from this support.

The GPSC Basic Needs Microgrant (BNM) aims to support undergraduate, graduate, and professional students meet their basic needs. The goal is to alleviate some of the financial burden students might be experiencing by helping them with healthcare, academics, hygiene, childcare, transportation, and/or housing-related essential costs. Although BNM is open to all students who demonstrate a genuine unmet financial need, it is particularly focused on helping historically underrepresented groups including, but not limited to Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (LGBTQIA+), and first-generation students. Overall, special weight will be given to applications requesting funding for mental healthcare costs.

The requested items may include, but are not limited to:
* Technology for remote work (computer equipment such as keyboards, video cameras, office equipment, printers, ink, etc.)
* Personal hygiene products (feminine products, soap, shampoo, hand sanitizer, etc.)
* Childcare products (diapers, formula, medication, maternity/postpartum products, etc.)
* Health (reproductive health needs, first-aid supplies, prescription drugs, co-pays for health services, band-aids, face masks, fitness equipment, etc.)
* Automotive (windshield wipers, subsidy towards replacement parts, oil changes, etc.)
* Housing (replacement keys, late fees for housing payments, groceries, etc.)
 * Parking and Transportation (parking passes, bus/train tickets, etc.)
 * Academic supplies (glasses, learning equipment, notebooks, textbooks, laptops, pencils, pens, etc.)
 * Tax needs

Prohibited items include:
* Tuition and fees
* Professional development / social club membership dues
* Any items that are already covered under one of the other GPSC grants (travel, research, project-related expenses, etc.)
