Teacher Mini Grants

One of the best gifts we know of are AEF Mini Grants for our teachers. With a specific focus on need, Teacher Mini Grants allow AUSD teachers to apply for funds that support opportunities for their students, but that are not covered in the school budget. Many of these grants focus on teachers at schools that receive Title I funding or who work with multi-lingual students or students with different learning styles or abilities. Your donation will allow us to fund teachers' specific requests on a rolling basis.

Teacher Mini Grant applications are now open for the 2025-26. If you are a teacher at an AUSD school that receives Title 1 funding, or work with students who are multi-lingual and/or have different learning styles or abilities,  or other special programs (intervention, Dept. of Equity, etc.),  and would like more information or to apply for a mini grant, please email AEF at [email protected]. This year, AEF also has some funds for STEM specific grant requests. These grants are to be applied for only if other district or site funding, such as PTA/PTO, is not available.

Our Frequently Asked Questions page has helpful information if you are considering applying for a grant.
