Grant of the Week: Tolerance.org

The Mix It Up Grant Program from Tolerance.org and the Southern Poverty Law Center is accepting applications.

"Have a great idea about how to challenge social boundaries and bring down the walls that divide your school?" Tolerance.org wants to help. They are awarding "$500 grants to support youth-directed programs and projects that address social boundaries in schools or communities."

Guidelines:

*Youth must serve as decision-makers in the project. Ideally, the project is created and implemented by youth.
* Projects must promote collaboration across social boundaries — different youth groups, clubs or community groups working together.
* The project or program should be a part of an ongoing effort, or an effort that's just getting started, but will continue.
* Grants are non-renewable.

Deadline: OPEN
