Island Credit Union Foundation encourages San Diego County teachers who have an
innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant
through its Teacher Grant program. Ten grants of $500 each will be awarded to local teachers in
October in the fall program.
The North Island Credit Union Foundation biannual grant program
is available to full-time teachers in San

or credit union members teaching in California, looking to fund special learning
opportunities for their students. The project should have clearly
defined learning objectives tied to students' academic needs,
display creativity and benefit a significant number of
students.
"Providing support to our teachers and schools is a critical
part of our Foundation's mission as we work to empower our
communities," said North Island Credit Union Foundation President
Marvel Ford. "We're excited to offer
this grant program to help our hard-working teachers bring an

has a project idea to apply."
Interested teachers can find more information and apply online

23, 2024. Grant recipients will be announced in October 2024.
Since the creation of the program in 2012, $195,000 in teacher grants have been awarded to
benefit students across Southern
California. The spring grant program funded a wide range of
projects, including understanding organisms and issues in the water
shed, starting a market for 3rd grade entrepreneurs,
creating a folk art program and launching a solar desalination
project, among others.
A non-profit charitable corporation, North Island Credit Union
Foundation focuses its resources on four key pillars of long-term
community empowerment, including investing in its communities and
youth, supporting educators and schools, promoting financial
