The Classroom Fund was created in 2011 as a special project of the El Paso Community Foundation. Since then, over $750,000 has been awarded to purchase materials and equipment to enhance learning opportunities and engage students in the El Paso and Las Cruces area.

Full-time educators in the El Paso and Las Cruces area are invited to apply for resource grants up to $1,000 for the 2026-2027 school year.

Applications are due by March 22, 2026!

Grants are available to all full-time, Pre-K through 12th grade educators, including teachers, librarians, guidance counselors, school nurses, and coaches. Eligible candidates must spend at least 75% of their time working directly with students. Requests must be for materials students will use or experience directly.

All grantees will be notified by late April. A reception will be hosted in June to celebrate the awardees and distribute requested materials.
