Design Grant Opportunity for Colleges and Universities
The Come to Believe Network facilitates an annual Design Grant initiative. Interested colleges and universities can apply to join a cohort of up to five institutions that explore the CTB model together over the course of nine months and evaluate its feasibility on their respective campuses. Each participating institution receives $30,000–covering the full cost of the process—as well as customized support from CTB and opportunities to engage with key stakeholders from their cohort and the broader CTB network.
Participants are committing to a good-faith exploration and planning process, scaffolded by CTB’s resources and support. Participants are not committing to the launch of the model by joining the cohort, but strong interest in replicating is a prerequisite for an approved application.
The application window for our 2024-2025 cohort is now open. Click the buttons below to learn more.

No. The purpose of the grant is to engage a team with a variety of perspectives and areas of expertise. We encourage interested individuals to recruit other individuals at their respective institutions to build a design team for the grant.
