Inspired Teacher Grant Program

The Inspired Teacher Grant Program offers OC public and charter schoolteachers the opportunity to obtain funding for projects, field trips, tools, or materials that present an enriching learning opportunity for students. From 2023 to 2024, OCCF awarded nearly $300,000 through 95 grants, benefiting 15,075 students.

This year, OCCF is partnering with the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation to offer a unique opportunity for Orange County high schools to enhance their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and STEAM (STEM + Arts) projects. With the support of generous donors, over 100 grants totaling more than $300,000 will go to instructors in Orange County K-12 schools this year to support classroom projects and field trip learning opportunities for their students.
