THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TEACHING TOLERANCE GRANTS

Teaching Tolerance offers grants of $500 to $2500 to preK-12 classroom teachers for projects designed to reduce prejudice among youth, improve intergroup relations in schools and/or support educator professional development in these areas.

Projects funded by Teaching Tolerance encourage intergroup relations and tend to be:

• Small-scale, resourceful and student-focused
  
• Focused on character/moral education, conflict resolution, multiculturalism, community service, or other aspects of tolerance education
  
• Clearly defined, well-integrated and related to students' own life experiences
  
• Creatively resourceful and economically responsible, involving staff participation, community volunteers and in-kind contributions wherever possible
  
• Embedded, rather than one-time-only, events or activities that impact student and educator attitudes of discrimination and bias.

Teaching Tolerance grants generally do not fund: salaries, stipends, overhead costs, travel expenses, food items, and computer hardware.

Funds: $500 to $2,500
