Community support
The OCE supports community-university partnerships by facilitating strategic introductions; promoting news stories or events; providing modest funding and discounted rental rates; or contributing to programming and logistics coordination when appropriate.
Application Guidelines
The OCE team members will consider each application based on these criteria:
- The project responds to a community identified need and/or benefits the public;
- The events associated with the project are open to the general public and are free or pay-what-you-can;
- The project is a collaboration with a non-profit organization or a non-registered citizen effort;
- The project may create a connection with Concordia students, faculty or staff, or may have potential for a future partnership;
- The project aligns with OCE’s mission and values and social justice principles and functions according to inclusiveness and anti-oppression principles in terms of physical, social, and cultural accessibility.
If you have questions regarding the criteria above or wish to discuss your project with a member of the OCE team please contact us.
We aim to communicate our decision within two weeks, but we recommend you contact us a few months in advance of your initiative due to high demand.
