There are opportunities for grants and art funding to assist in the classroom and help Santa Clarita Valley teachers and school administrators provide a better learning experience for students of all ages. The list below is by no means exhaustive of all available funding, but we will strive to keep it up-to-date and add new opportunities as they arise.
California Credit Union

Have a great class project idea? Each spring and fall, California Credit Union awards 20 Teacher Grants of $500 each.

Castaic Education Foundation
Grant applications are available late fall.
The Castaic Education Foundation exists to help teachers provide the most thorough and innovative education to students enrolled in the Castaic Union School District. They provide grants to teachers within their district who have great ideas but lack the financial resources to implement them.
City of Santa Clarita
The grant cycle opens in early fall.
The City of Santa Clarita Community Services and Arts Grants offer local nonprofit organizations the opportunity to support innovative and crucial programs and projects that serve residents. Past funding has been awarded to support equipment upgrades, after school enrichment programs, facility renovation projects, community art projects, and performances.
Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation
Grant requests can be submitted year-round.
The Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation is a private family foundation whose mission is “to improve the quality of life within the geographical areas associated with the career and legacy of California pioneer, Henry Mayo Newhall.” The Foundation endowment supports philanthropic activities in the communities where H. M. Newhall lived or had business interests, including the Santa Clarita Valley.
SCV Education Foundation Teacher Grants
Applications for the next SCV Education Foundation Grant will be available each fall.
The SCV Education Foundation assists teachers in their efforts to enhance their core curriculum through grants. The Foundation looks for requests that are innovative, creative, and encourage collaboration.
WiSH Education Foundation
Wish is a non-profit organization that benefits the William S. Hart Union School District.
The WISH Education Foundation supports the 23,000 students in grades 7-12 of the William S. Hart Union High School District. They fund programs and initiatives not paid for by tax dollars alone and their goal is to benefit as many students as possible, directly in the classroom, where it’s needed most.
