Celebrating the 2024 Cash for Classrooms Grants
Between July 29 and August 23, the Chandler Education Foundation (CEF) received a remarkable 211 applications from teachers and staff across the Chandler Unified School District (CUSD), all seeking support to bring innovative resources and experiences into their classrooms. This represents a 47% increase from the previous year, highlighting not only the rising costs of high-quality educational materials but also the unwavering commitment of our educators to create meaningful, impactful learning opportunities for their students.
These grants are made possible entirely through the generosity of our community, who donate to the annual Cash for Classrooms fundraiser. Thanks to your continued support, CEF awarded an unprecedented $180,000 in grants, benefitting students across 44 CUSD schools and sites!
We invite you to explore the snapshot below showcasing the exciting grant projects and the surprise classroom visits where our 'Woohoo Patrol' announced the winners.
Your donations are making a real difference in the lives of students, enriching their learning, opening doors to new opportunities, and helping them prepare for the future. Thank you for standing with us in support of academic excellence!
