Hi friend! Are you ready for Spirit Day this Thursday, October 17th? Besides going purple at school, work, online, and in your community we wanted to let you know one more way you can honor Spirit Day. Today, we are thrilled to announce we are now accepting applications for the 2019 Rising Stars Grants for Spirit Day! The grant, presented by Barilla, is eligible to LGBTQ young people (ages 18-30) who are working to accelerate acceptance for LGBTQ youth by focusing on anti-bullying initiatives in their communities. The recipient of the Rising Stars Grant will receive $1,500 for their commitment to combating bullying and harassment experienced by LGBTQ youth. Application deadline: Sunday, October 27, 2019 All applicants notified: Friday, November 1, 2019 To apply for a Rising Stars Grant, complete the online application form located on glaad.org/risingstars, and submit a short essay. If you are not eligible to apply, make sure you forward this email to a passionate young advocate in your life. Hope to hear from you soon! Clare Kenny, GLAAD Director of Youth Engagement |
