Since 1983, the Ed Fund has awarded grants to uplift public schools in West Contra Costa County. We are proud to continue being a source of funding for the teachers in our district. Our Grants program is designed to champion initiatives and projects that nurture creativity and foster empowerment for students and the entire community through the Arts.

Our Bradley Arts Mini-Grants give the WCCUSD community the opportunity to empower and support students with their social, emotional and academic needs, while supporting project-based learning, skill development, and engaging learning experiences. The Back-to-School Mini-Grants are intended to ease the burdens of out-of-pocket costs, while improving the educational experience of students. To celebrate and honor the lives and contributions of Black Americans, our Black History Month grants focus on teaching students the importance of Black culture, arts, history, music, and their impact on the world today– immersing themselves in a sense of pride and belonging, while celebrating their rich history and unique experiences.

We’re proud to invest in the incredible work happening across West Contra Costa classrooms.
