Levi Strauss Small Grants Program

Striving to expose all Haas stakeholders to the field of Corporate Social Responsibility, the Center teamed up with the Levi Strauss & Company Foundation to create the Levi Strauss Small Grants Program in 2004.

The program aims to engage and promote innovative, grassroots thinking and creative ideas on ways to advance the CSR agenda at the Haas School by awarding small grants to support research, teaching, experiential learning, and outreach activities. The program's goal is to empower the Haas community to define, investigate, and execute sustainable concepts of CSR.
