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.
