PPIE loves to help our teachers inspire their students through innovative projects and methods! The PPIE Teacher Grant program is made possible by generous support from a variety of donors which includes MetCon-ti, The Safeway Foundation, the Save Mart C.A.R.E.S. Foundation, The Clorox Company, the Rotary Club of Pleasanton, and the Pleasanton Weekly.
PPIE welcomes PUSD teachers and staff to apply for these grants beginning in March. The grants are awarded at the end of the school year so that the funds can be implemented in the next school year.
Teacher Grant Application Details
PPIE provides grants up to $3,000 to Pleasanton Unified School District (PUSD) employees to fund a classroom or school project that is student focused, promotes creativity and innovative thinking, and furthers student engagement and learning.
A successful application will:
- have an innovative vision and plan for assessing the project’s impact
- impact a large number of current and/or future years students
- have a detailed budget specifying how the grant money would be spent
- include a principal’s (or supervisor’s) signature and approval
Funding for projects outside of PUSD, projects that duplicate district funding and projects requesting funds for salaries, professional development, and food costs will NOT be considered.
Applications for funding for the 2024-25 school year will open Monday, March 25, 2024 and will be due on Monday, April 22, 2024. Contact us at ppiegrants@gmail.com with any questions regarding the grant program or application process. We look forward to supporting your innovative projects!
