Teacher's Fund
Village Properties has established The "Teacher's Fund" to help local public and private K-12 school teachers buy the supplies and books they so desperately need. DeAnn & Elizabeth donate part of their commissions to this wonderful fund that helps the whole community and you can too!

Village Properties believes in the power of education. In 2002, Renee Grubb and Ed Edick established the Village Properties Teacher's Fund to help local Santa Barbara public and private elementary school teachers get the tools and materials they needed but could not get due to budget cuts.
In April 2006, a generous donation from the Orfalea Family Foundation and the Orfalea Fund allowed the Teacher's Fund to expand so they could include grades 7 and 8.
In 2007, thanks to another generous donation from the Orfalea Fund, the Teacher's Fund celebrated another expansion adding North County schools.
In April of 2009, the Teacher's Fund is once again expanding to include grades 9 - 12 for all Santa Barbara County public and private school teachers.
Our teachers' requests are for the most basic materials: books, art supplies, dictionaries, printer cartridges, software, etc.
The Teacher's Fund is a way for everyone to help enrich the lives of our children through education. 100% of the donations go directly to our teachers. When you help our kids acquire a better education you're making an investment in all of our futures.
