Since the first grant program was established by Darden Restaurants in 1996, over $1.25 million has been distributed to Orange County Public School teachers for classroom learning supplies and equipment, as well as teacher collaboration projects. The Foundation has five major grant programs:

In addition to these core programs and services, the Foundation engages in numerous projects and initiatives that enhance the “in-classroom” environment. These include support programs for para-professionals (teacher aides), corporate partnerships, in-kind donations and much more. We also engage in fundraising to support our programs and the needs of teachers throughout the district.

For more information about our teacher grants, call 407.317.3261 or email.

“Thank you for including me in the Darden celebration!  I’m proud to be a recipient of one of the awards.  I pledge my best effort at implementing our project proposal!  With thanks,

" I want to take this opportunity to thank the Foundation for its generous support as I prepare for the State Teacher of the Year Awards in July.  While meeting with other state finalists it was obvious that the support the teachers of Orange County receive from the Foundation far exceeds that found in the majority of the state.  I have benefited from Foundation grants over the years and I've always loved the business cards provided by the Foundation.  It was a distinct pleasure to be able to share mine with other finalists.  The efforts of the Foundation impact our teachers everyday and I look forward to being a part f the board for the upcoming school year."
