Each semester, the Office for Institutional Engagement & Wellbeing invites proposals for initiatives that strengthen engagement, connection and community across the University of Pittsburgh.

Through the Pitt Wellbeing Mini-Grant Program, the office supports creative projects that cultivate a sense of belonging, enhance communication and collaboration, and foster a culture of care, opportunity, accessibility and wellbeing on Pitt’s campuses.

These grants reflect the University’s commitment to Pillar 3 of the Plan for Pitt: “We will be welcoming and engaged.”

Last semester’s grant recipients included programs on: Global Tea Time: Connecting International Staff; Queer Asia Pittsburgh film and dialogue series; Staff Council Spring Assembly 2026: Navigating Change; and several more. Read about them here.

The application period will begin Aug. 1. Visit the website for more information.
