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.

“All of my kiddos were engaged and really enjoyed the hands-on Project Based Learning over an extended period of time.”

“This gift went to purchase a cart and a ton of non-fiction books. It really came in handy during our Research Clubs last month.”
