About Oracle Education Foundation
The Oracle Education Foundation concentrates its giving on supporting a single Bay Area secondary school focused on design and technology education. Its grants fund operational and programmatic needs (notably intersession programming) for Design Tech High School, indicating an interest in hands-on, project-based STEM education in the region. The foundation appears to prioritize direct investment in one flagship partner rather than broad, diversified philanthropy.

About Oracle Education Foundation
Oracle Education Foundation’s recent grantmaking is unusually concentrated: one school, Design Tech High School in Redwood City, accounts for a large share of the foundation’s visible activity across 2023, 2024, and 2025. The grants tie directly to intersession programming, school security, and broader program operations, which points to a funder supporting day-to-day school delivery as well as specialized student experiences. That pattern is reinforced by other awards to schools such as Ann Richards School Foundation and Eastside College Preparatory School, where the funding also supports program operations and engagement-related work. The result is a portfolio that reads less like a broad competitive grantmaker and more like a relationship-based education funder backing a small set of school partners. Its stated focus areas center on K-12 technology education, coding, physical computing, design thinking, and futures thinking, with support reaching schools in California, Texas, and Missouri. The foundation’s giving is regional rather than national, and the recent record shows a strong emphasis on student-centered, project-based school programming.
What Oracle Education Foundation Funds
A core theme is project-based STEM learning inside schools. Oracle Education Foundation gave $30,000 in 2025 to Ann Richards School Foundation in Austin for program operations covering the intersession program, Mission Monday, Project Pathways Program, and the makerspace. A separate $25,000 grant in 2024 to the same grantee supported the intersession program, Project Pathways Program, and the makerspace. Another strand is school operations and engagement: in 2025, Guadalupe Centers High School received $10,000 for program general operating costs and OEF engagement, and Eastside College Preparatory School received the same amount for the same purpose. The repeated references to intersession, makerspace, and project pathways suggest support for out-of-term student learning and hands-on environments rather than isolated one-off projects. Across these grants, the foundation backs schools that combine technology, design, and student participation within their regular programming.
How Oracle Education Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $17,500 at the 25th percentile, $30,000 at the median, and $250,000 at the 75th percentile, with one award reaching $410,000 in 2025. The pattern is relationship-based and recurring: Design Tech High School appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Ann Richards School Foundation appears in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation is not a private foundation that funds individuals; it makes organizational grants and no program-related investments. Its invitation-only structure means it considers proposals by invitation rather than through an open application process.
