Lilly Network Grant Program Funding Increases

The Lilly Network of Church-Related Colleges and Universities is excited to announce increases to its grant funding for Network institutions. We hope these increases will help to cover the rising costs to implement these events and programs effectively, and we invite applicants to think more expansively about programming that can be included in grant applications going forward. The increased grant amounts will take effect beginning with applications submitted for the September 15, 2025 deadline.

New grant amounts will be as follows:

Mentoring Programs: up to $20,000 with 2-year programs encouraged (previously $12,000)

Conferences and Collaborations: up to $25,000 (previously $12,500)

Network Exchanges: up to $30,000 (previously 25,000)

Small Grants: up to $5,000 (previously $3,000)
