LOS
ANGELES, Aug. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- California Credit Union Foundation encourages Los Angeles County teachers who have an
innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant
through its Teacher Grant program. Ten grants of $500 each will be awarded to local teachers in
October in the fall program.
The California Credit Union Foundation biannual grant program is
available to full-time teachers in Los
Angeles, Orange,
San Bernardino and Ventura counties, or credit union members
teaching in California, looking to
fund special learning opportunities for their students. The project
should have clearly defined learning objectives tied to students'
academic needs, display creativity and benefit a significant number
of students.
"Providing support to our teachers and schools is a critical
part of our Foundation's mission as we work to empower our
communities," said California Credit Union Foundation President
Marvel Ford. "We're excited to offer
this grant program to help our hard-working teachers bring an
innovative classroom program to life and encourage any educator who
has a project idea to apply."
Interested teachers can find more information and apply online
here. The application deadline is September
23, 2024. Grant recipients will be announced in October 2024.
Since the creation of the program in 2012, $195,000 in teacher grants have been awarded to
benefit students across Southern
California. The spring grant program funded a wide range of
projects, including creating a spoken word poetry program, starting
a chick hatching science project, printing a school/student
newspaper and planting a school vegetable garden, among others.
A non-profit charitable corporation, California Credit Union
Foundation focuses its resources on four key pillars of long-term
community empowerment, including investing in its communities and
youth, supporting educators and schools, promoting financial
literacy and honoring our service members.
