Unleashing Technology: Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation Invites Applications for Schools Program
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians Foundation is currently seeking applications for its Technology in Schools Program, which aims to enhance classroom technology for students in Santa Barbara County. Interested parties can submit their applications by April 30, 2024, through the foundation’s website at www.chumash.gov/foundation.
This program provides school administrators and faculty members with the opportunity to apply for funding for specific technology projects. Grants can be used for expenses such as purchasing hardware, upgrading infrastructure, incorporating high-tech resources, and enhancing curriculum offerings. Since its inception in 2015, the Technology in Schools Program has awarded more than $430,000 in grants to local schools.
Recipients of the latest grants for the 2023-2024 school year include Cabrillo High School, Santa Ynez Valley Christian Academy, Carpinteria High School, Lompoc High School, Dunn School, and La Honda STEAM Academy. The foundation’s annual charity golf tournament in 2015 contributed to funding technology grants for four local schools and led to the creation of this program.
The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has a long history of philanthropy and has donated over $30 million to various community groups and schools both locally and nationally. For more information about the grant application process or any other questions regarding this program, individuals can visit www.chumash.gov/foundation or contact 805-688-7997.
