Teacher Innovation Grants empower teachers with opportunities to inspire their students to succeed in school. Each year, teachers with grants are able to create memorable, interactive and enhanced learning experiences -- experiences that would not exist without the additional funding. The Innovation Grants provide teachers with opportunities to better connect with their students in new and innovative ways, enabling higher levels of learning in the classroom and on field trips.
Grants are available for teachers who work in Santa Clara County public school districts or charter schools that have a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Silicon Valley Education Foundation (SVEF). If your district is not listed below, contact your Superintendent about this opportunity and request that a MOU be signed with SVEF.
