About Us
Tangible Change was formed in 1999 to allow student leaders to come together
and create events that enliven the Penn community. The committee aims to
foster community-building within the University’s
undergraduate population by funding collaborative events that promote
interaction among disparate audiences.
Unlike other campus funding sources, Tangible Change receives its funding
directly from the Vice Provost for
University Life. Because of our direct affiliation with VPUL, we have
both more discretion in our funding decisions and freedom from the political
mandates imposed by student government groups. In the 2011-2012 academic year, Tangible Change awarded over $40,000 to more than 33
events.
The Fall 2013 Co-Chairs are Natalia Lladó Calderón and Rachel Bernard. They can be reached at tchange@dolphin.upenn.edu.

Funding Guidelines
1.
Tangible Change does not fund parties, closed
events, speaker’s events, fundraisers or events at which alcohol is present.
2.
Tangible Change only funds events hosted in
collaboration by student groups or events that specifically
reach out to different segments of Penn’s undergraduate community.
Collaborating organizations are expected to be equal partners in the planning
of an event.

Tangible Change expects that proposal coordinators
have already searched for other funding resources by the time of the
proposal's submission.
4.
Tangible Change reviews itemized budgets on a
need-versus-want basis.
5.
Tangible Change reserves the right to refuse
proposals by organizations who are major sponsors of
two or more Tangible Change-funded proposals from the same academic year.
6.
All publicity materials of programming
co-sponsored by Tangible Change must bear the Tangible Change name and
logo. Download the logo as a printable .eps
