Talk IPSE To Me! Finding Hidden Funding & Building Campus Partnerships to Support IPSE Program Needs

Inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) programs often require one-time funding for essential needs such as professional development travel, accreditation expenses, professional memberships, or grant-writing support. These expenses may not be covered by traditional budgets, but can make a big difference for the success of the IPSE program. This “Talk IPSE to Me” session will explore how to identify and engage academic departments, college offices, and other university units that may have discretionary funds or underutilized resources. Participants will learn and share effective strategies for building relationships across campus, crafting persuasive funding request emails, and creatively navigating institutional structures to secure small-scale financial and professional support. Real-world examples and templates will be shared to help programs take immediate action. Come join us for some Real Talk about your needs and resources – we can brainstorm leveraging strategies together! This is a member only event. If you are not an IPSE Association member and would like to join, you can join by visiting www.ipseassociation.org.
