SHADE Cover Grant Program: 2007-8 Once you have reviewed this section, please email judy@shadefoundation.org if you have any questions about the SHADE grant program. The Federal Government now recognizes solar radiation as a “known” carcinogen. The Center for Disease Control has produced a document “Shade Planning for America’s Schools” which calls to action anyone involved in the education of our children to recognize the impact that overexposure to the sun will produce. Purpose
Program The program is put forth to the public on the SHADE Foundation website and is open to any 501 c 3 non-profit organization who has need for outdoor shade. Applications for grants are open once per year from September thru December. The grants are given out in two cycles the following year in the Spring and Fall.
Grants are awarded based on compliance to the application and shade audit, need and efforts made towards sun safety in general. History Over 100 SHADE Grants have been awarded since 2002. The program originally conceived to provide incentives for schools to participate in the EPA’s SunWise Program has evolved to become a successful teaching method as well. Parent, student, educator and administration input is vital to bring a school from a passive participant in sun safety education to the springboard for an active sun safe community. Future Each year we see more and more involvement from communities, cities and even states to bring sun safety awareness to children. Civic leaders who can effect widespread change are going to be key in progressing to the next level. An excellent example of this would be to have school board leaders and city planners discussing plans for shade as budgets are created and new schools built. Other service organizations may want to step up funding for shade covers on a local or national level. The American Academy of Dermatologists is an example of a national organization which provides numerous shade grants to schools via their local dermatologist. Overview

Through the support and generous
donations from friends of the SHADE Foundation like you, we have
given out over 100 SHADE Grants to schools and community organizations
who serve children.
Below is a list of both schools and community programs which have been given grant approval. We applaud the ongoing work of these organizations to promote a sun safe message! Many of the schools these have signed up to be SunWise through the EPA. If your school or community would like to apply for a SHADE grant, please check back here in September for a grant application form. Would you like to join others who have sponsored a SHADE structure? Contact us or make a donation.
