RPIRG Working Group Application Form

RPIRG Working Group Application Form
The Regina Public Interest Research Group (RPIRG) is a student centre at the University of Regina that works on social and environmental justice issues. RPIRG gives out up to $30,000 in funding each year to students for events, projects, or training opportunities.

Any student at the University of Regina is eligible (and encouraged!) to apply for funding.

Applications are due by midnight on one of the 5 annual funding deadlines.

Funding Deadlines:

July 1 - Oct 1 - Nov 1 - Feb 1 - March 1

Working Group Funding provides yearly-long funding for a group that has consistent programming.

Working Groups are semi-autonomous groups of students and community members who work together on an issue, or towards a common goal. Working Groups may focus on research, events, actions, publications, and other diverse activities. They tend to have long-term goals with activities and membership that continue beyond the current academic year, hold regular meetings, and must maintain a membership that includes University of Regina students. Working Groups receive $500 in funding per semester for three semesters ($1,500 per year). Working Groups may also use other non-financial RPIRG resources, and are eligible to apply for additional funding through the Project, Event, and Training Fund.

After being approved, a Working Group will receive:
- Support and funding of up to $500 per semester
- Space on the RPIRG webpage
- Access to office resources, such as photocopying and the button maker
- Networking access
- The opportunity to apply for Event/Project funding
