CCPG OFFERS Mini-grants for Connecticut Colleges
CCPG offers a mini-grant of up to $1,500 for colleges/universities to increase public awareness of the issue of problem gambling to students, faculty and administration on college campuses. These funds are intended to facilitate the inclusion of problem gambling within existing, and oftentimes similar, prevention programs that are currently funded to address Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs, and to assist colleges in creating their very own campus-based program models that may be of use to other campuses around the state and abroad. The application and funding purpose, process, and requirements can be obtained by phoning the CT Council on Problem Gambling at 203-453-0138 or e-mailing the Council at ccpg@ccpg.org. |
