Chumash Foundation Offers Grant Opportunities for Technology in Schools in Santa Barbara County

The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation is currently accepting grant applications for its Technology in Schools Program, which supports schools in Santa Barbara County. This program enables school administrators and faculty to apply for grant funding for technology projects, such as purchasing hardware, infrastructure, and other resources to enhance the curriculum. Since 2015, the program has provided over $430,000 in grants to schools in the area, including Cabrillo High School in Lompoc.

Cabrillo High School used the grant funds to create a new reef exhibit in the school’s aquarium. Other schools have used the grants for projects like lighting systems in theaters and multimedia centers, as seen in Lompoc High and Dunn School. The deadline to apply for the program next year is April 30, and applications must be submitted online. For more information on how to apply and eligibility requirements, interested parties can visit the Chumash website or call 805-688-7997.
