The Conejo Schools Foundation Supports CVUSD Teachers with More than 285 Grants

The Conejo Schools Foundation’s CSF Teacher Grants (formerly Cash4Conejo Grants) help to support student success by funding innovative projects that enhance student learning. This year, 286 teachers from 30 CVUSD school sites have been awarded 2025 CSF Teacher Grants, each teacher applied for a grant up to $300. In its 14th year of providing teacher grants, this represents the largest number of recipients. 

CSF will be visiting the classrooms of this year’s grantees to deliver their certificates and grants.

Congratulations to this year’s recipients! Their grant awards will help bring to life creative programs and initiatives that support CVUSD students and make their school experiences even more enriching:
