Your Gift Matters

The Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) celebrates 25 years as Stanford University’s hub for innovative scholarship on race and ethnicity. Our mission is to advance racial equity through interdisciplinary education, research, and community engagement. Our work answers the urgent call for racial equity. Stanford's CCSRE provides the foundation for students, faculty and community-engaged fellows to do interdisciplinary work that combats racial injustice by championing multiracial equity.

Gift Opportunities

Gifts from friends of the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity support a range of programs including fellowships, research, and community engagement. We appreciate gifts of any size. All gifts and pledges received during 2021 will count toward this 25th anniversary fundraising effort.

Making a multi-year pledge of 3-5 years would be especially meaningful as we seek to expand our programs and research to advance racial equity.

Annual Fund gifts help facilitate strategic campus and community partnerships, world class teaching, and new original programming that benefits the wider community.

Twenty Undergraduate Community Engagement Fellowships ($10,000/year per fellowship)

Ten Applied Research Start-up Grants ($50,000/year per grant)

CCSRE supports faculty-led research designed to both understand and intervene in pressing issues related to racial equity through collaborative, action-oriented research.

Two Postdoctoral Fellowships ($125,000/year per fellowship)

This new fellowship would enable the Center to attract the nation’s best recent graduates to work with faculty mentors across disciplines and lead research initiatives in the Center’s core programs, such as the Technology and Racial Equity Action Lab and the Race and the Humanities Research Lab.
