SRVEF Announces 2025 Grant Awards

The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation (SRVEF) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2025 Teacher Grants. Once again, SRVEF partnered with DonorsChoose to help with the grant campaign. As a result of matching funds and external donations, SRVEF funded 96 grants. This year SRVEF was able to fund 78% of the eligible grants submitted, totaling $27,000.  

31 schools had one or more grants funded by SRVEF and 94 Educators had their grant request funded. 19 teachers were awarded their first Teacher Grant.

The SRVEF Grant Program is funded primarily through proceeds from the Danville San Ramon Rotary Online Auction for Education and the SRVEF Run for Education. If you haven’t registered for the 2026 Run, please consider registering today.

Unfunded teacher grants will remain active on the DonorsChoose website for a few weeks. The grants may continue to receive external funding, including funding from individuals, corporate donors, school Ed Funds/Academic Boosters, and matching fund donors. If a grant is not fully funded by the expiration date, any external money pledged is returned to the donor.  

Please note that grants can be submitted at any time, so the list might change. All unfunded grants may be reviewed on the DonorsChoose site by clicking here.  Please consider helping our educators reach their goals by donating today!              

Here is the list of all SRVEF funded Teacher Grants with links to the Grant on DonorsChoose.
