Steph and Ayesha launched the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation in 2019, which is a nonprofit organization focused on giving children access to meals, learning resources and more.
In an announcement on Monday, the couple shared via their Eat. Learn. Play. Instagram page that they are partnering with MasterClass to gift 16,000 memberships to Oakland and San Francisco Unified School District educators.

“It’s national literacy month, and we want to take a moment to celebrate and thank teachers for the critical role they play in helping our students learn, grown, and improve their skills,” Steph Curry said.
Praising educators for their resilience amid recent challenges, he added, “Ayesha and I, along with our Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation, are excited to announce we are once again teaming up with MasterClass to celebrate all teachers, educators and administrator staff in Oakland and San Francisco Public schools.”
The MasterClass website includes a description of their services that the Curry family will be gifting educators.
