Envisioning a San Juan Unified School District where funding is not a barrier to equitable opportunity and access.

Creating connections, inspiring collaboration, and cultivating community, the mission of the San Juan Education Foundation is to harness the combined power of philanthropy and partnership to propel student achievement and enrich the lives of educators. Founded in 1991, we provide support through Direct-to-Teacher Grants and a broad scholarship portfolio.

Annually, our Evening with the Stars gala recognizes prominent alumni who have been successful in their chosen profession and who have given back to the community. We are also fortunate to be the beneficiary of the Fair Oaks Chicken Run.

Check out our 2024-2026 Strategic Plan.

Arts Education Stories

Californians put their money where their mouth is when we voted to approve Proposition 28, the Arts and Music in Schools Funding Guarantee and Accountability Act in November 22. As those funds have begun rolling out through the San Juan Unified School District, the San Juan Education Foundation has been raising funds to support the purchase of arts education equipment and infrastructure to help advance arts education across the district.

In addition to raising funds for arts education, we'd like to highlight educators who have inspired San Juan Unified students through their love and passion for the arts. Please share your story about arts education and the teacher who made an impact in your life during your San Juan Unified schooling time.


Direct-to-Teacher Grants

Our Direct-to-Teacher Grant Programs are being revitalized to ensure the best projects are being funded at the right time and for the right reasons. The new Grant Program will be launched in January 2025.

The Learning Experience ($5,000) Grants Program is available. Applications are due by Thursday, December 5.
