The Calallen Education Foundation Grant Patrol is when the Foundation team visits campuses across the Calallen Independent School District (CISD) and awards grants to teachers for innovative and creative programs, projects or initiatives that will inspire learning in their classrooms.
The grant cycle begins with a teachers completing a grant application and submitting it to the Calallen Education Foundation. The applications are reviewed by a panel of judges made up of Calallen Education Foundation Board Members and Donors. The applications are judged and scored and then Grant Patrol takes place.
The Calallen Education Foundation was founded in October of 2008. In December of 2011, the very first Grant Patrol was held and since that time, the Calallen Education Foundation has been raising money every year to award to deserving innovative educators within the school district.

In 2011, the Calallen Education Foundation visited campuses across the Calallen ISD and delivered the very first set of grants to teachers for their innovative and creative ideas to deliver inspiring lessons and learning in the classrooms. Since that time, local businesses and the community have donated nearly $500,000 to support innovative education within Calallen ISD. Those dollars are donated to the Calallen Education Foundation and grants are awarded to teachers that apply for grants to assist them in their daily innovative work with our children.
2021 marks the 10-year anniversary of those original grants being awarded and on Thursday, February 25 the Calallen Education Foundation will be hosting a 10 Years of Giving Virtual Celebration and Fundraising Event on Calallen TV.
