SCHOOL MINI-GRANTS
​
Hours Against Hate School Mini-Grants support student group, class, or all-school programming that engages students across lines of difference. These mini-grants for up to $1000 support schools’ participation in the Hours Against Hate effort by planning at least five programs to be completed during the 2018-19 school year.
WHAT COUNTS AS PROGRAMMING?
Goals of programs should include promoting positive identity development, developing listening skills and empathy, dismantling bias, and promoting inclusive school climate.
​
Ideas for programming include, but are not limited to:
-
Planning special “lunch hours” for dialogue
-
Bringing in speakers from the Hours Against Hate Speakers Bureau or from the community
-
Transportation that will bring different school groups together.
​
One of the five programs may focus on school staff, including dialogue or training.
​
Mini-grant funding may be used for one or more of the programs, but the applicant must commit to completing at least five programs.
HOW DO I QUALIFY?
Principals, teachers, social workers, guidance counselors, specialists and student groups are encouraged to apply.
​
Mini-grants will reimburse expenses after programming has occurred and evaluation materials are submitted.
​
All schools receiving mini-grants will be included in a list of institutions participating in the Hours Against Hate effort. Testimonials from participants (educators and/or students) will be collected to be shared in print, online and in social media (testimonials can be anonymous). Schools are responsible to obtain parental releases for any student photos.
