THE SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER TEACHING TOLERANCE GRANTS

The Teaching Tolerance project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit group that fights discrimination, offers grants to teachers in support of projects that promote diversity, peacemaking, community service, or other aspects of tolerance education. Funded projects tend to be:

· small-scale, resourceful and student-focused

· clearly defined, well-integrated and tailored to the specific needs and interests of particular learners and their communities

· economically responsible, involving staff participation, community volunteers, and in-kind contributions whenever possible

· sustainable in some way, rather than one-time only evens and activities

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

Funds: up to $2,000

Application Deadline: applications accepted year-round

Contact: Teaching Tolerance Grants, 400 Washington Avenue, Montgomery, AL 36104; (334) 264-0286 ext. 374
