Our Crowdfunding Groups
THANK YOU to everyone who watched the video and supported us by donating and sharing the campaign within your networks. You have made a difference!
In the coming weeks, we will be sending financial support to advance university community engagement efforts and partnerships at the University of Ghana and Universidad Veracruzana.
Thanks again!

To our cherished community,
We have reached our fundraising goal! We wanted to take a minute to thank you all for taking the time to watch the video, share the campaign, and engage with us. If you haven’t done any of the above already, now’s your chance! We’ve raised just over $2,000 so far which will be incredibly useful in supporting programming at Universities Ghana and Veracruz and beyond. BUT, we need your help in taking it further! We are stretching our initial goal by $100 in the hopes that we’ll be able to engage 100 people in donating $1 and sharing the campaign (on social media or through email!).
In our video, we discuss the importance of vinculación, or links. We want to continue and expand the connected community of the Talloires Network. We want to move past the transactional and towards the transformational. We want to spread radical and systemic change happening through university-community partnerships. This is all possible, with your help! Please consider donating $1 and sharing our campaign today!
With deep gratitude,
Cecilia, Drew, Miriam, Trina, Brianda & Lorlene
We are helping to build a global university civic engagement movement. Every voice matters. Let us know that you believe in changing the world by improving the relationship between institutions of higher education and the communities they serve.
The Talloires Network began in Talloires, France when a group of 29 university presidents from 23 countries made the bold decision to challenge the idea of the ivory tower. Your contribution celebrates their vision.
Remember the experience that changed your life forever? For university students, we know that engaging with local communities can be more educational than reading lessons in a text book. Your donation will help to cover the cost of student student supplies (notebooks, markers, posters) for their learning-by-doing experience.
Dismantling the ivory tower is not for the faint of heart. Engaged faculty around the world need your support so that they can connect students with communities to solve pressing problems. Your contribution will help to cover the cost of student transportation from campus to village.
Today 380 universities in 77 countries are working together to strengthen the civic roles and social responsibilities of higher education. Your donation will support faculty and students who engage with their local communities to tackle such issues as illiteracy, famine, disease and homelessness.
A donation in this amount will supports endeavors like a University of Ghana graduate student summer internship at Tufts University.
