Giving Matters
Supporting teachers, inspiring future leaders, driving equity in education -- there are so many reasons to give to the KCI!
You make amazing things possible!
The generosity of our donors makes the work of staff, instructors, partners, and community members possible through educator scholarships, low-to-no cost professional learning, the growth and sustainability of the KCI Makerspace, as well as new program development in the areas of online and blended learning, STEAM, computer science, design thinking, equity and inclusion, and creativity in the classroom.
Together, these donations support educators who embrace innovation at the core of their instructional program and also empowers them to bring energy, passion, and creativity into their learning spaces -- ultimately impacting their students and the future of education.
You Inspire Tomorrow's Leaders
To motivate, challenge, and inspire today’s diverse learners and future leaders, teachers need to be able to boost their curriculum with new teaching methodologies and technology-enhanced learning activities.
Your donations are leveraged
By partnering with school districts on their own professional development programs, we leverage the power of your donation. However, to maintain and expand we need to increase our funding base.
Your Support is Crucial
Only 10% of our funding comes from the Foothill-De Anza District (primarily for facilities), with another 10% from state lottery funding—the remaining 80% comes from the generous donations of people like you.
In Summer 2020 alone, we reached over 2000 teachers.
