DESCRIPTION

The Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere (CHPS) co-sponsors events that engage the humanities in the form of conferences, speakers, classroom visits, and workshops, organized by faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students, and community members. Please Note:

• UF employees cannot be paid honoraria.
• All co-sponsorship requests must be received at least 3 weeks prior to the event.
• CHPS limits co-sponsorship to maximum two per applicant per funding cycle (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).
• An attendance list is required if funds are used for food.

Funds Available: $300 per event

FUNDING

For UF applicants, funds will be transferred to one of the event organizers’ units for spending. CHPS will coordinate with community organizations on a case-by-case basis. If organizations choose to invoice the Center, they will need to be registered with the UF Supplier Portal and have a Supplier ID #.

REQUIRED REPORT

In order to remain eligible for future CHPS co-sponsorship, within two weeks following the event, event organizers must prepare and submit a brief final report to CHPS that provides the number of attendees and describes the event in a short paragraph.
