Thank you for your interest in the 2026-28 Engaging Difference in General Education (EDGE) Grants.
Through this opportunity, Interfaith America will provide six colleges and universities with grants of up to $20,000 and cohort-based support during an 18-month grant period. Participating teams will work to establish Civic Pluralism as a core competency of undergraduate education by developing institutionally appropriate student learning outcomes, advancing the competency’s formal adoption within each institution’s undergraduate learning framework, and piloting it through one or more high-reach courses or curricular pathways. Teams will also plan for sustained and expanded implementation beyond the initial pilot.
Before completing this application, please carefully review our Frequently Asked Questions About Pluralism resource for additional information about Interfaith America's understanding of pluralism.
In the following sections, we will ask you to describe your proposed project, institutional context, implementation strategy, and plans for competency adoption. Responses should reflect your institution's current circumstances as well as your vision for future impact.
Please complete the following application before 11:59 PM on October 31, 2026, to be considered.
