Kip Tokuda Memorial Washington Civil Liberties Public Education Program

Greetings! The December issue of the Social Studies Newsletter presents the Kip Tokuda Memorial Washington Civil Liberties Public Education Program (WCLPEP). In the spirit of the season with its tradition of giving and receiving gifts, WCLPEP comes as a gift from the 65th Legislature of the State of Washington.

WCLPEP reauthorizes a grant to fund public educational activities and materials for the purpose of establishing a legacy of remembrance as part of a continuing process of recovery from the World War II exclusion and detention of individuals of Japanese ancestry.

WCLPEP grants are created to do one or both of the following:

Educate the public regarding the history and the lessons of the World War II exclusion, removal, and detention of persons of Japanese ancestry through the development, coordination, and distribution of new educational materials and the development of curriculum materials to complement and augment resources currently available on this subject matter.
Develop videos, plays, presentations, speaker bureaus, and exhibitions for presentation to elementary schools, secondary schools, community colleges, and to other interested parties.

The following groups or individuals are eligible to apply:

501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations
Colleges and universities
Individuals (artists, educators, journalists, scholars, writers)
Cultural institutions and community organizations
Units of government (school districts, cities, counties, special districts)
Consortia of any of the individuals or groups listed above.

These partnerships may be among institutions of higher education, school districts, private schools, industry and business entities, and community organizations of all kinds.

The minimum request for a grant is $10,000. The maximum amount for each grant is $100,000.
