Teaching Tolerance Grant Program
The Southern Poverty Law Center provides Teaching Tolerance grants of up to
$2,000 to K-12 classroom teachers for implementing tolerance projects in schools and communities. Proposals from other educators, such as community organizations and churches, will be considered on the basis of direct student impact. Applications are available online and deadlines are ongoing.

Adopt-A-Classroom
Teachers who register at the Adopt-a-Classroom Web site (click on Teacher Registration) can be adopted by an individual, a business, or a foundation. Once adopted, teachers will receive $500 worth of credit to purchase items that enrich the learning environment, including classroom technology. Teachers help solicit their own sponsors by downloading and distributing fliers within their community or by sending out a personalized, pre-written email from the Adopt-a-Classroom Web site. Every donor receives information about the classroom it has adopted, including an itemized list of what teachers bought so that donors can see the impact of their donations.
