Bringing Learning to Life with Resources and Experiences for CUSD Classrooms

Chandler Education Foundation's annual Cash For Classrooms (C4C) fundraiser — held each fall — supports CUSD employee-requested grants to make learning more exciting and impactful. 

WHAT IT IS 

We know that the best ideas come from those closest to the students — CUSD's amazing staff and teachers! With your support, C4C turns those ideas into real experiences. 

Kudos to the dedicated educators who pursue more opportunities for students by applying for the C4C grants! 

And our heartfelt thanks to the generous supporters who help CEF turn those innovative ideas into excitement and enhanced learning in CUSD schools!
