American Academy of Dermatology Announces 2008 Shade Structure Grant Program

To assist organizations in creating sun-safe outdoor areas, the American Academy of Dermatology has announced the availability of grant applications for its Shade Structure Program.

The program is open to United States nonprofit organizations or educational institutions for permanent shade structures over outdoor locations which are not protected from the sun, such as playgrounds, pools, eating areas, and other locations.

The 2008 program will have a longer grant cycle in order to allow AAD members to work with local schools and organizations to develop sun-safety programs and initiatives, one of the criteria for application. Also please note, the 2008 program is only open to schools and organizations that serve children and teenagers, ages 18 and younger.

    you apparently have found a large potential funder segment unknown to me. i focus on federal funding.
    unfortunately the shade project specifies permanent...so bman would be out. unless the gerlach school did something as a respite area for burners.
