Macalester College was one of 88 colleges and universities across the country selected to receive a grant from the Lilly Endowment as part of the Program for Theological Exploration of Vocation.  Macalester was awarded two grants, the first spanning 2001-2006 and the second from 2007-2009. Macalester as an institution is now dedicated to incorporating the emphases and programs of the Lilly Program into the ongoing work of the college.

The Institute for Global Citizenship coordinates the Lilly Program through the Civic Engagement Center in partnership with the Center for Religious and Spiritual Life.
