Since 2006, the San Juan Education Foundation has been dedicated to supporting the teachers, students, and community of the San Juan Unified School District through our grant programs. We are proud to have invested more than $800,000 into our classrooms.

In Fall 2024, we revamped our grant program to focus on funding projects that have achievement at their core and create the greatest impact in the classrooms of today.

We are excited to share our new PROPEL Grant Program, designed to break down funding barriers and create equitable opportunities for students and educators across San Juan Unified. Guided by a spirit of generosity and collaboration, PROPEL Grants empower educators to dream and implement projects that inspire students and transform classrooms into hubs of learning and growth. The PROPEL Grant Program will open on January 20, 2025.

PROPEL Grants provide funding to educators and school-site staff (including classified personnel) to foster rich and inclusive learning experiences.

The PROPEL Grant Program funds projects that:

•       Promote academic achievement for every student.

•       Reaffirm a commitment to creating safe, welcoming, and culturally responsive classrooms that nurture joy and inclusion.

•       Optimize meaningful, engaging, and accessible educational experiences.

•       Provide financial relief to grantees.

•       Empower grantees to develop innovative and dynamic learning environments.

•       Lead to lasting positive change.

* Please note that any subscriptions or equipment purchased through the various grant programs listed above become the property of SJUSD and not the individual teacher awardee(s).
