AAD Shade Structure Grant Program
Deadline: April 10, 2009
To assist organizations in creating sun-safe outdoor areas, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has announced the availability of grant applications for its Shade Structure Program. Any U.S. nonprofit organization or educational institution may apply for permanent shade structures for outdoor areas not protected from the sun, such as playgrounds, pools, and eating areas.
Grant awards up to $8,000 each may be used for the purchase of permanent shade structures designed to provide shade and ultraviolet (UV) ray protection for outdoor areas. The Academy also provides a permanent sign to be displayed near the shade structure promoting the importance of sun safety. The Academy receives support for this program from Johnson & Johnson Consumer Products Company.
To be considered applicants must:
* Be sponsored by an Academy member dermatologist
* Demonstrate a commitment to sun safety within their organization
* Agree to meet the timeline outlined
