EDUCATION
Education is a powerful tool for opportunity, confidence, and long-term success. Through classroom grants, school partnerships, and youth-focused initiatives, we invest in students and educators across the Coachella Valley—helping ensure learning environments are supported, inclusive, and inspiring.
Education is one of our three core pillars and plays a critical role in strengthening our community and expanding access to opportunity for the next generation.
Supporting Classrooms Across the Valley
From elementary schools to high school programs, One Valley Foundation partners with educators across all three local school districts to help meet real, immediate classroom needs.
Our education initiatives are designed to:
- Support teachers with resources that enhance learning
- Reduce financial strain on classrooms and schools
- Create equitable access to educational tools and experiences
Whether it’s funding classroom supplies, supporting learning enrichment, or backing innovative educational projects, our goal is simple: help students thrive where it matters most—right in their classrooms.
Classroom Grants Program
Investing Directly in Students and Teachers
One Valley Foundation’s Classroom Grants Program provides funding to support educational projects and needs identified by local educators and schools.
Grants may support:
- Classroom supplies and materials
- STEM, arts, and enrichment programs
- Literacy and special education initiatives
- Technology and learning tools
- Programs that promote engagement, confidence, and academic growth
By funding these projects, we help educators focus on what they do best—teaching, inspiring, and empowering students.
Education Through Hockey
Education and hockey go hand in hand at One Valley Foundation.
By using hockey as a gateway, we help teach life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, accountability, and confidence—both on and off the ice. Our education pillar works in tandem with Access to Hockey to create experiences that support personal growth, goal‑setting, and a lifelong love of learning.
“Education is where opportunity begins. When we invest in our classrooms and our educators, we’re not just supporting learning—we’re strengthening our entire community. At One Valley Foundation, we believe every student deserves the tools, confidence, and support to succeed, both in school and in life.”
— Kate Spates, Executive Director, One Valley Foundation
