Guidelines
1. The goal of the Community Outreach Sponsorship Program (COSP) is to support the volunteer work of graduate students and community organizations while also helping to create stronger connections between York campus, surrounding area communities, and the greater graduate student population at York university.
2. The applicant organization must demonstrate that they provide community work to the York campus or the surrounding community by providing a copy of the organization's mission statement along with proof that York graduate students are involved in the organization. The application must be submitted on behalf of a York graduate student.
3. 'Community work' is work conducted by a not-for-profit organization that focuses on improving community life. This work can include, but is not limited to, work that addresses anti-oppression, lack of access for community members to participation in art/sports programmes, learning, and food.
4. Only one application per organization per funding period (May-April).
