Fort Bend I S D Education Foundation
We touch every school in Fort Bend ISD!
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Since it's inception in 1992, the Fort Bend Education Foundation has served as a powerful catalyst for extraordinary academic achievement. The Foundation supports innovative academic projects and staff development opportunities, that make learning fun and hands on!
But the demands on school districts today are enormous, and budgets can't always keep pace with the individual requests of classroom teachers who want to make innovative education a reality for their students. Delivering this exceptional level of learning is neither easy nor inexpensive.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Each year, the Foundation receives hundreds of applications, representing every school in the district. Every proposal undergoes an extensive review process by the Foundation's Board of Directors, to ensure that strict criteria are met.
The number of grants funded each year is limited only by the amount of money raised by the Foundation.
Funds raised from generous local businesses and individuals are channeled with expert precision directly into classrooms, where talented students are teamed with inspired educators, to achieve levels greater than anything they thought possible.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Foundation offers the following opportunities for support:
Grants to Teachers and Schools Program
Founders Grants
New Teacher Gifts
