Lumen Technologies has extended its Teachers and Technology grant program, committing $1 million in new funding to help K-12 educators bring innovative technology into their classrooms. Through the Lumen Clarke M. Williams Foundation, individual grants of up to $5,000 will be awarded to schools in 10 states to help purchase technology that “equips students with the digital skills needed for success today and in an AI-driven future,” the company said.
“We’ve seen firsthand how technology transforms learning. Our Teachers and Technology program aims to boost the technology acumen of kindergarten through high school students, preparing them to thrive in today’s increasingly digital world,” said Ana White, chief people officer for Lumen.
Online applications will be accepted through Jan. 15, 2026, with grant recipients scheduled to be announced by May 1, 2026. Teachers in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, Washington and Utah are eligible to apply.
Since 2010, Lumen has donated nearly $12 million through its Teachers and Technology program, supporting technology upgrades for more than 2,000 classrooms across the United States, the company said.
