AAD

American Academy of Dermatology Association

The American Academy of Dermatology’s (AAD) Shade Structure Program awards funds to schools, day-cares, parks, and other non-profit organizations for installing permanent shade structures where children learn and play. Each shade structure award includes the cost for shade structure materials and installation. In addition to the grant, the AAD also provides a permanent sign to be placed near the shade structure featuring sun-safety tips. The AAD receives support for this program through donations from its members, outside organizations, and individuals.

Grants of up to $8,000 are available

Application Deadline: The application for the 2025 Shade Structure Grant will be open from October 1 – December 15, 2024.
