RAAD GRANT PROGRAM Glendale Chamber Foundation


RAAD (Raising Awareness About Diversity) grants are made possible by gifts from supporters and fundraising activities of the Glendale Chamber Foundation. We offer grants up to $750 to K-12 classroom teachers for implementing diversity and youth activism projects in their schools and communities. Proposals from other educators such as community organizations and churches will be considered on the basis of direct student impact.

Types of Grants Funded


Projects funded by the Glendale Chamber Foundation tend to be:
  • small scale, resourceful and student focused, promoting acceptance of diversity, peacemaking, community service or any other aspect of tolerance education
  • clearly defined, well integrated and tailored to the specified needs and interests of particular learners and their communities
  • economically responsible, involving staff participation, community volunteers and in-kind contributions wherever possible

Funding Limitations


The Glendale Chamber Foundation generally funds projects that promise the most direct and immediate student impact. For this reason, salaries, stipends, presenter fees, overhead costs and computer hardware normally are not funded.

  • Grants are restricted to one per applicant per school year

We value your opinions and feedback
