Building Bridges Fund - Harvard University President The Building Bridges Fund, an initiative of the Office of the President and administered by Community and Campus Life, seeks to foster a culture of pluralism at Harvard by building cross-cutting community among students outside the classroom.
The fund aims to support student-led projects that enable the development of the skills necessary to respect, relate, and cooperate across lines of difference. It was established in response to the recommendations from the Presidential Task Force on Combating Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli Bias and the Presidential Task Force on Combating Anti-Muslim, Anti-Arab, and Anti-Palestinian Bias.
For its inaugural cohort in spring 2025, the President’s Building Bridges Fund awarded grants to four student-led projects within Harvard College, Harvard Law School, and the Harvard Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
These projects focused on building community across different faiths, cultures, and backgrounds and creating unique opportunities for students to engage in dialogue and explore complex issues from multiple perspectives outside the classroom setting. Applications for the 2025–26 academic year are now closed. Applications for the 2026–27 academic year will reopen in Fall 2026.
The President’s Building Bridges Fund is a one-time, nonrenewable grant to selected student-led projects that bring together groups of students along one or more of the following lines: Building meaningful relationships between affinity groups whose interests or perspectives on important issues may diverge; Advancing intellectual excellence by listening deeply, navigating tension constructively, and fostering cooperation across differences to solve common problems; Acting against discrimination, bullying, harassment, and hate; and Fostering dialogue and engagement across differences on campus about interfaith or intercultural issues, or a combination of both.
