Nearly 1 in 2 college students lack enough money for food, and at least 1 in 10 are at risk of homelessness.  

The FAST Fund  provides emergency aid in the form of micro-grants to help, keeping students in school and on track to degrees!

Faculty and Students Together = FAST

Listen to students who are food insecure, even hungry to learn .

There are 18 FAST Funds located at colleges and universities right now. These professors support students just when they need it, conveying both money and care.

We are grateful to DVP-Praxis  and Derek Price for providing a matching gift to kick off this campaign!  Your contribution will be matched, dollar for dollar, for the first $2,500. (Update: within 2 hrs all matches were received! Y’all are amazing)

This year, faculty at these institutions will be the beneficiaries of your support:
