Call for Pepsi Proposals - Fall 2022 Programs

Each semester the Review Committee for the Pepsi Enhancement Fund sends out a call for proposals for program funding. At this time, I would like to encourage you to submit proposals for programs and events that will occur during the 2022 fall semester, Monday, August 29, 2022 - Monday, December 12, 2022. Due to a recalibration of the enhancement fund a total of $25,000 is available for fall grants. In order to support multiple grants all requests must not exceed $2,000.00. The fund, generously provided by PepsiCo, will be used to underwrite the cost of programs that broadly affect the campus population.
Each of the proposals will be measured by the following criteria:

1. Will the event/program contribute to the creation of campus community?

2. Will the event/program appeal to a wide audience of campus citizens?

3. Will the event/program contribute to the advancement of the academic mission of the University?

4. Will the event/program enhance the co-curriculum, enlarging opportunities for leadership, cultural and social exchange, and service to the University and broader community?

I invite you to submit a proposal online at https://stampunion.umd.edu/pepsi/ prior to Friday, April 1, 2022 by 5:00 p.m. All proposals must be completed online and a response is required to all of the questions detailed on the form. The Pepsi Review Committee will review all proposals; departments and organizations will be notified of their award status following the Review Committee meeting and the funds will be available at the start of the spring semester. Please note, in order to accommodate the greatest number of groups in our funding process, a sponsoring organization may not submit more than two (2) proposals per semester.


Thank you, in advance, for submitting your proposal for Pepsi Enhancement Funds. Should you have any questions, please email dylim@umd.edu.
