What is the Teacher Grant Program?
At the Cupertino Educational Endowment Foundation (CEEF), we believe great teachers ignite curiosity, spark creativity, and foster a lifelong love of learning. Yet each year, teachers across our district spend an average of $600 out of their own pockets to bring their classrooms to life.
That’s why CEEF proudly invests at least $100,000 every year into our Teacher Grant Program, ensuring educators have the resources they need to keep learning dynamic and enriching for every child.
Through this program, teachers can apply for grants of up to $500 to fund:
- Professional Development: advancing their skills to better support student learning
- Innovative Projects: bringing creative, hands-on learning experiences into the classroom
- Classroom Enrichment: enhancing daily learning with additional tools and materials
Thanks to the generosity of CUSD families, we’ve recently been able to shift from offering these grants every other year to every single year. This is a change that’s already making a meaningful difference in classrooms across the district.
Your Annual Gift Matters. By donating annually, you help us continue this critical support for the amazing teachers shaping our children’s future. Please invest in those who invest so much in our kids.

“The students are truly enjoying having the mirrors to practice their dances. They are able to watch each other while learning the choreography and make sure they are in sync as they refine their pieces for performance. Thank you so much for helping us with the purchase of mirrors!”
“I am so grateful that CEEF chose to grant money to my classroom. I can’t wait to create the math centers and let the students explore, reinforce, and extend their learning. Your organization does wonderful things for CUSD teachers. Thank you very much.”
