2017-2018 Teaching Tolerance Educator Grants

Purpose: Teaching Tolerance supports educators who embrace and embed anti-bias principles throughout their schools. Grants will further our mission by supporting projects that promote affirming school climates and educate youth to thrive in a diverse democracy. Teaching Tolerance grants will fund two different types of projects: school-level and classroom-level. At the school level, leadership teams will use the grants to improve school climate, reduce hate, support culturally responsive practices and implement anti-bias curricula. At the classroom level, teachers will use the grants to fund programming that promotes empathy and kindness, positive identity development, perspective taking, critical thinking about injustice and collective action. Whether implemented at the school or classroom level, Teaching Tolerance seek to fund projects that culminate in measurable student outcomes and demonstrable student work. Our hope is to build, over time, a network of grantees—educators who are enthusiastic about learning from each other and sharing their experiences with the broader Teaching Tolerance community.

Eligibility: Educators who work in public or private K-12

Amount available per project: $500 to $5,000
