The Dr. Nina Roberts Micro-Grant Fund

Help Us Launch the Dr. Nina Roberts Micro-Grant Fund

How can we support DEIB work right now? That’s the question that the Association for Experiential Education (AEE) asked and an amazing group of volunteers rose to the challenge and created the Dr. Nina Roberts Micro-Grants.

And we are so close. With $4,356 already in the Dr. Nina Roberts Social Justice Micro-Grant Fund, we need less than $700 more to reach our $5,000 goal and begin awarding these much needed micro-grants.

We now have the opportunity to honor Nina’s legacy in a tangible way. With your help, we can launch the first round of micro-grants, empowering individuals and communities to engage in the DEIB work that meant so much to her. The awarded funds must be applied towards work that creates more inclusive learning environments for future generations of our richly diverse population in the fields that use outdoor and experiential methods.

WAYS TO SUPPORT:

• Purchase a t-shirt or sweatshirt from our Online Campaign

• Purchase a copy of the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) Field Guide—a powerful collection of voices sharing lived experiences with racism, sexism, heterosexism, gender identity, ableism, and ageism. The guide challenges us all to dig deep, to listen with open hearts and minds, and to take meaningful action toward personal and systemic change. The vision for this resource—and the micro-grants it supports—came from Dr. Nina Roberts. Nina’s life and work illuminated pathways for equity, inclusion, and belonging in the outdoors and beyond. Even as her energy waned during her illness, she asked that her social justice torch be carried forward.
