Additional Info

The QPC strives to create a space where all individuals can thrive with safety and respect. Since 2019, over $803,000 in QPC grants have been awarded. Grants help us support programs, resources, and opportunities that continue to build a safe and thriving community for all at IU. Through our annual grant awards, we have helped fund dozens of initiatives across all IU campuses. 

Our strategic priorities are to:

  • Develop programs and practices focused on LGBTQ+ support and engagement.
  • Advocate for inclusive policies at IU, including health, wellness, and mental safety services.
  • Administer an annual grant program aimed at making Indiana University a more accessible, equitable, and welcoming place for all students, including LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff.
