Ideal Applicant
K–12 education organizations, West Contra Costa schools and individual teachers seeking small teacher grants or California-focused program support aligned with student success.
Good Fit
- • A teacher or classroom project seeking a small Gratitude Grant (typically under $5K).
- • A West Contra Costa public school or local education nonprofit serving students in Contra Costa County.
- • A California education organization seeking program support closely tied to student success or teacher support.
- • Willingness to apply through the Temelio portal during the open application period.
Geography
Giving is overwhelmingly California-focused: in the latest year 96% of dollars stayed in CA, with only a few out-of-state awards observed across three states.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a very broad recipient base (about 1,300 distinct recipients and roughly 1,169 new recipients in 2024), driven by many small teacher Gratitude Grants alongside a smaller set of larger education grants.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of high entry is visible: a large share of 2024 recipients were new and the foundation publishes an online application process for Gratitude Grants, although some programmatic funds are noted as preselected or invitation-only.
