Football season is here, and SRP and Cardinals Charities are partnering for the sixth year on the Touchdowns for Teachers program.

The program awards $500 grants to two teachers every time the Cardinals score a touchdown during the regular NFL season, according to a press release kicking off this year’s campaign. Teachers can use the grants to purchase school supplies, books, equipment or anything they need to support their classroom.

Grants can be used for any classroom need and are available for teachers employed at public, charter or non-profit private schools in SRP service territory.

 To date, the Touchdowns for Teachers program has provided more than $269,000 in grants to more than 538 teachers. 

“Teachers play a crucial role in shaping our future, and initiatives like Touchdowns for Teachers are a fun and engaging way to support the work educators do for our students,” said SRP Community Engagement Manager Anita Tarango. “This program is just one of many ways SRP supports education and workforce development in our community.” 

In 2023, SRP invested more than $2 million in education. From hands-on teacher workshops to grants for educators, SRP “supports teachers' work to innovate for the future and create supportive classroom environments,” the press release continued.
