Teacher Mini Grants

One of the best gifts we know of are AEF Mini Grants for our teachers. Our dedicated teachers often spend their own money on things their students need. In California, teachers annually spend over $600 out of their own pockets – more than any other state. This is definitely an equity issue as teachers in wealthy districts or parts of town are more likely to have access to resources than those in less affluent areas.

With a specific focus on need, Teacher Mini Grants provide an opportunity for AUSD teachers to apply for items that will benefit their students but that are not covered in the school budget. Many of these grants focus on teachers at Title I schools and special programs, such as Special Ed and English Language Learning. Your donation will allow us to fund teachers' specific requests on a rolling basis.

If you are a teacher at an AUSD Title 1 school or work with intervention, ELL or other special programs and would like more information or to apply for a mini grant, please email AEF at info@alamedaeducation.org.
