IMPACT Grant

What could your institution do with an IMPACT Grant?

The Liaison IMPACT grant is an employee-funded initiative dedicated to helping our customers support the success of their students and drive better outcomes on their campuses.

In 2024, we are awarding several grants, ranging from $5,000 to $20,000.
