Credit Union of America
WICHITA — Credit Union of America (CUA) has awarded $40,520 in Teach, Grow, and Inspire the Future (TGIF) classroom grants to 49 teachers across Kansas, including in Hays.
Since its inception in 2000, CUA has contributed more than $565,000 to help educators enhance their curriculum by funding classroom projects, supplies, field trips, and other educational activities that enrich the student experience. Recipients submit applications outlining their classroom funding needs, which are then reviewed anonymously by a team of CUA staff and retired educators. Additional details are available on individual projects by request.
We congratulate our Spring 2025 TGIF grant recipients and wish them and their students a rewarding and engaging experience as they bring their educational projects to life.
