San Juan Education Foundation

San Juan Education Foundation strengthens public education in the San Juan Unified School District in California by raising and directing private support to students, teachers, and schools across the district. Its work is tied to a large regional system serving communities in Sacramento County, including Arden-Arcade, Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Gold River, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, and Sacramento. The foundation’s role is practical and district-facing: it funds classroom and school needs, backs educator-led projects, and helps expand opportunities that are not fully covered by public education budgets.

A concrete part of that mission is teacher and school grants. The foundation runs grantmaking that supports innovative classroom projects and school programs for San Juan Unified educators and campuses. It also administers scholarships for graduating seniors, connecting donor support to students moving on to college or other postsecondary education. In addition to direct funding, the foundation organizes community giving and events that bring families, alumni, local businesses, and other supporters into the district’s educational life.
