The 2025/26 Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) Fund is now open. Get up to $25,000 to support community-university partnerships that benefit communities across the province and advance collaborative research, teaching and learning.
The fund is open to BC-based community partners and UBC faculty, staff and students. Interested applicants are invited to submit a Notice of Intent by Thursday, September 25, 2025.
Paid directly to community partners, CUES funding removes financial barriers and prioritizes reciprocal, inclusive engagement so all communities — especially those that have been and continue to be underserved, marginalized or excluded — can benefit. This year, we have a total of $700,000 to fund up to 28 community-university projects.
Information session
Attend the information session: What to know before applying on Tuesday, September 9 at 2 pm. Get an overview of the CUES fund, review the applicant guide and eligibility requirements, and ask any questions before submitting your Notice of Intent.
