  • CGII will be offering stopgap/bridge funds for projects on humanitarian crises, migration, refugees, asylum-seekers, and related topics that have been interrupted by the government’s withholding of previously awarded funds or contracts. Amounts up to $10,000 will be considered. The source will be the Ruth-Young-Forbes Fund for the study of humanitarianism in global context. If you have been affected, please email CGII director Brian Owensby (bpo3a@virginia.edu) to discuss possible funding.
