 For nearly 40 years, the San Angelo Schools Foundation (SASF) has supported teachers by funding innovative classroom ideas that enhance student learning across San Angelo ISD. Since launching its grant program in 1989, SASF has empowered educators from Pre-K through high school to bring creative projects to life—helping bridge the gap between limited budgets and big ideas.

What began as biannual grant cycles quickly grew in popularity, leading SASF to transition in 1996 to a single annual award each November. Today, these grants are delivered in a fun, surprise celebration—recognizing teachers and their dedication to students.

Through the years, SASF has funded a wide range of impactful initiatives. From classroom technology like tablets, Chromebooks, and software, to hands-on learning tools such as books, science supplies, and math manipulatives, these grants directly enhance the learning experience. They have also supported the arts with equipment and supplies for music, visual arts, and theater programs. Notably, technology grants have made a powerful difference for special needs students, opening new ways to communicate and learn.

SASF operates with a simple mission: give back. Funds raised—through community support, staff contributions, and fundraising efforts—are reinvested into classrooms, helping as many teachers as possible each year.

As the need continues to grow, SASF remains committed to expanding its impact. With your support, even more teachers can turn their ideas into meaningful opportunities for students.
