CSTA unites, supports, and empowers educators to enhance the quality, accessibility, and inclusivity of computer science education so every student is prepared for a world powered by computing.
Computer Science Teachers Association LLC directs its giving toward the chapter and educator infrastructure that supports computer science teaching. One unusually large award stands out: $200,000 in 2024 to Computer Science Alliance for support for local professional development events. That scale sits alongside many smaller awards to CSTA chapters, showing a funder that backs both broad convenings and local member activity. The foundation’s recent grants show a clear emphasis on K-12 computer science education, teacher support, and chapter-level engagement. CSTA Arizona received $13,460 in 2025 for chapter membership and events, while CSTA Connecticut received $11,875 in 2024 for the same purpose. Other grants support chapter grants more generally, including CSTA Iowa, CSTA New Jersey, CSTA Georgia, and CSTA New York City. Programmatically, the foundation also supports equity and recognition in the field through active programs such as CSTA Equity Fellows and the CSTA/ACM Cutler-Bell Prize in High School Computing. Those initiatives sit alongside chapter funding, which points to a funder focused on strengthening the educator network that surrounds computer science instruction.
Equity and access appear in the foundation’s fellowship work. The CSTA Equity Fellows program selects cohorts of K–12 educators to participate in a fellowship focused on equity and expanding access to computer science education. Teacher and chapter support is another major theme. In 2025, CSTA Arizona received $13,460 for support for chapter membership and events, and CSTA Miami received $11,880 for the same purpose. These grants point to recurring support for local professional communities rather than single-purpose program grants alone. The foundation also backs local professional development events. In 2024, Computer Science Alliance in Santa Fe, NM received $200,000 for support for local PD events. Awards and student recognition are present through the CSTA/ACM Cutler-Bell Prize in High School Computing, which recognizes high school seniors pursuing advanced study in computer science or technology.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the low five figures: the p25 is $9,280, the median is $10,320, and the p75 is $13,555. A few larger awards sit above that band, including the $200,000 grant for local PD events. The pattern is heavily chapter-based and program-restricted, with repeated support for chapter membership, events, and chapter grants across multiple years. The active programs are open to unsolicited applications, and the foundation’s structure includes partnership tiers and fellowship-style support rather than individual giving.
