Innovation Grants

Fostering Innovation In Our Classrooms

Through the generous support of contributions to One Community LG and administered through the Los Gatos Education Foundation, LGUSD offers Strategic Plan Staff Innovation Grants.  The purpose of these grants is to provide leadership development opportunities for LGUSD staff, enhance curriculum and instruction across the district, and foster innovation in our classrooms


The innovation grants are open to all certificated and classified staff in the Los Gatos Union School District.  Priority is given to projects that impact students at a grade level, schoolwide or district-wide level that foster creativity and innovation. Projects must align with LGUSD’s Strategic Plan.


Each year $25,000 is available for grants. The goal is to benefit as many students and staff as possible throughout the LGUSD.
