If you are interested in hosting your own N + F-style event, there is an opportunity to be awarded a microgrant (of up to $350 per applicant [$150 for the recipient’s labour and up to $200 for event supplies]). These events are meant to be facilitated, themed conversations over a meal of 5-7 student participants.
