Hello, Sophia Travis Grant Applicants! Below is the 2026 Agency Presentation Order for Wednesday, May 13th at 5:00 PM in the Nat U Hill Meeting Room.

As a reminder, agencies are invited to give (at most) a three-minute presentation on your grant application. Presentations are not a requirement to be considered for an award. In order to prevent technical delays and be mindful of time, virtual/pre-recorded presentations will not be possible. Presentations will need to be in-person on May 13th.

We ask that you send us an email at [email protected] if you will NOT be able to attend. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you there!
