The Corvallis Public Schools Foundation is pleased to announce the distribution of $67,612 in IMAGINE Grants, supporting innovative projects that promote student achievement, equity, real-world learning, and overall student well-being. IMAGINE Grants are available to all Corvallis School District staff and have been a cornerstone of CPSF’s support for local students since 2008. With nearly $970,000 awarded to date, the program continues to make a meaningful impact on students and educators across the district.
This year, 37 projects received funding, including a record number of grants benefiting all schools district-wide. Funded projects span a wide range, from technology that helps district mental health therapists support students’ emotional regulation and resilience, to sustainable school garden spaces inspired by Indigenous knowledge, culture, and history, and everything in between. Five elementary schools will receive at least one IMAGINE Grant, and every middle school and high school in the district will receive multiple grants.
IMAGINE Grants are made possible through the generosity of the Foundation’s endowed funds, which help turn Corvallis School District Staff’s creative and impactful ideas into reality, enriching learning experiences and supporting student well-being. CPSF extends sincere thanks to the Harold and Alma Moldenke Outdoor School Endowed Fund, Doris L. Myers Memorial Endowed Fund, Zel Brook Art Project Endowed Fund, Bicycle Safety Education Endowed Fund, Barbara E. Fry Endowed Fund, Better World Endowment for Equity and Inclusion, Hetherington Family Fund, Mario and Alma Pastega Professional Development Endowment, Yvonne Thomas Fund, Zoe A. Silbernagel Endowed Fund, and the Midge Mueller Fund. Learn more about these funds by visiting our “Support a Fund” page on our website.
CPSF looks forward to seeing these IMAGINE Grants come to life during the 2025–2026 school year. Follow us on social media for stories highlighting the impact of these projects as they unfold, and view the full list of this year’s IMAGINE Grant recipients here!
