The funding has been made available through the government's counter-extremism programme Building a Stronger Britain Together.
Those receiving funding include The Anne Frank Trust UK, which will use the money to develop its work with young people in secondary schools, in areas affected by extremism and community tension, from the next academic year (2019/20).
The charity, which is licensed to use Anne Frank's story to educate young people about tolerance, has previously received Building a Stronger Britain Together funding to work in schools this year in Blackburn and West Yorkshire.
Work includes organising exhibitions in schools, and recruiting peer guides to spread messages of tolerance and challenge discrimination in school.
