Grants For Schools and Districts
Teaching Tolerance offers grants of up to $10,000 for programs that engage collaboration between educators, researchers, parents/guardians and student groups that aim to equalize students' experience in schools. Such programs might include:
- Equitable discipline policies and practices
- Consistent educational experience for migrant, homeless, or foster-care students
- Special education advocacy, with emphasis on parent and students' rights
- Prejudice reduction efforts in racially isolated schools
- Equitable school assignment plans
These grants require a two-stage application procedure, beginning with a Letter of Inquiry and, on invitation, followed by the submission of a full proposal.
Letters of Inquiry should not exceed three pages and must include:
- Contact name, email address, phone number, organization name/address
- Summary of the proposal's main points
- Information about the school or district and its capacity to carry out the proposal, including credentials of key project leaders
- Concise description of the project, including the motivation and need(s) addressed, what will take place, how many people will benefit from the program, and who will participate
- Anticipated short- and long-term outcomes that connect clearly to students' holistic experiences in schools
- Brief estimated budget and timeframe
- Brief overview of qualitative and quantitative evaluation methods
- Plans to disseminate information about your project to encourage replication and sustainability
Notification of our interest will be mailed in June. If a Letter of Inquiry is selected for further consideration, you will receive detailed instructions for submitting a full proposal.
