Season of Giving

While most students and teachers in the San Ramon Valley Unified School District are physically back in the classrooms, the challenges of the pandemic continue to impact students' social-emotional needs as everyone adjusts to State and County required COVID health guidelines. That is why throughout the Season of Giving, we call on you to consider supporting Visual Arts funding in SRVUSD. The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation's (SRVEF) mission is to support ALL students in the district. You have been there in the past and we need you even more NOW.

During this Season of Giving, our goal is to provide schools with additional funding for Visual Arts programs with donations from community members, parents, alumni, small businesses, and large corporations. The Major Gifts and Endowment Fund has generously kicked off our campaign with a donation for professional development to support staff in effectively integrating Art into their classroom activities.

SRVEF 2021 Grant Awards

The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2021 Teacher Grants. Once again, SRVEF partnered with DonorsChoose.org. As a result of matching funds and external donations, SRVEF funded ALL ELIGIBLE grants.

This year, SRVEF has awarded 90 grants totaling $30,756, including 20 music and science grants funded by the SRVEF Endowment Committee.

The SRVEF Grant Program is funded primarily through proceeds from the Run for Education and the Auction for Education. The Endowment Grant Program is funded through our annual donation drive and annual recognition dinner, Celebrate Innovation in Education.

Unfunded teacher grants will remain active on the DonorsChoose.org website for approximately two more months during which time the grants may continue to receive external funding, including funding from individual and corporate donors, and matching fund donors. If a grant is not fully funded by the expiration date, any external money pledged is returned to the donor. Grants that still require funding may be reviewed by clicking here.

All funded SRVUSD Grants may be reviewed on the DonorsChoose.org site and are available by clicking here.
