The purpose of this project was to design a program, identify potential funding sources, and write a grant to fund a gender specific bullying prevention program to reduce the rates of bullying for each gender at one Southern California elementary school. An extensive literature review increased knowledge about teachers' perceptions of gender differences in bullying and about the need for a gender specific curriculum to best meet the needs of both male and female students. A search for potential funding sources on the Internet and in collaboration with Jewish Family and Children's Service of Long Beach and Greater Orange County resulted in the selection of Chapman & Associates Foundation as the most viable funding source for this project. A grant was then written to support a gender specific bullying prevention program to be conducted through Jewish Family and Children's Service of Long Beach and Greater Orange County's school-based program in Long Beach, California.
