Co-sponsorships

Ethics Institute at Dartmouth

The Ethics Institute accepts applications to co-sponsor events on campus sponsored by other centers and institutes, administrative units, or individual faculty, which can include workshops, speakers, conferences or performances that advance the mission of the Institute (Ethics Institute Mission Statement).  Please note that administrative support will not be provided for co-sponsored events. Those applying for co-sponsorship must include a chart string where the funds will be deposited.  Recipients are required to acknowledge the support of the Ethics Institute in any publicity. Our co-sponsorship awards will not generally exceed $3,000.  Requests greater than that will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The Institute reviews these co-sponsorship requests on a rolling basis and the award (which may be less than the amount requested) depends on how the project advances the mission of the Institute as well as the availability of funds.  

Submitting an application for co-sponsorship involves two steps:

  1. Complete and submit an application form online.
  2. Email Ethics.Institute@Dartmouth.edu to the attention of Sonu Bedi, with a full description of the event and a draft budget.

The ofrenda will be a space to pause and reflect on the impermanence of life, but also to tell those who are no longer among us, that their presence prevails in our hearts.
