What is the Teacher Grant Program?

At the Cupertino Educational Endowment Foundation (CEEF), we believe in the power of great teachers to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Every year, we commit $100,000 to support the incredible educators in our district through the Teacher Grant Program. Our Teacher Grant Program provides direct funds to educators for classroom supplies, innovative projects, and professional development—areas that are essential to fostering an engaging learning environment for students. On average, teachers spend around $600 out of their own pockets on classroom materials each year. Our program helps ease this burden by allowing teachers to apply for up to $500 every other year to enhance their classrooms and continue their professional growth.

But we want to do more—and we need your help to make it happen!

Early donations will be matched dollar for dollar by CEEF, up to the first $25,000.

“I purchased a classroom version of chick incubator, feeder and water dispenser, brood warming plate, and some teaching manipulatives and books for my oviparous animals unit. Thanks again!

Your Support Can Make a Difference

If every family in the district contributes just $50, we can expand the Teacher Grant Program to allow all teachers to apply for a grant each year. With your generous support, we can ensure that every classroom has the resources it needs to spark joy and engagement in learning.

By donating today, you help empower our teachers and enrich the educational experience for every student.
