Teach for Tomorrow Grant 2026

Guardian Credit Union is excited to provide an opportunity for teachers and students to learn and interact in new ways through the Teach for Tomorrow Grant.

Educators throughout Guardian Credit Union’s 16 membership counties have the opportunity to win one of up to 20 $1,000 grants for their classroom or school-wide project.

Whether it’s a new set of books, a new STEM or STEAM initiative, a school-wide project, a new virtual learning experience, or other exciting educational opportunities, we want to hear about your ideas and help champion these initiatives.

Recipients from the previous cycle of the Teach for Tomorrow Grant (Summer 2025) are ineligible to receive the award this cycle. We appreciate your past participation and encourage you to apply during the next cycle.
