HEB ISD Education Foundation

Mission

The mission of the HEB ISD Education Foundation is to raise and award private funds and community resources to support the HEB ISD’s commitment to excellence in education. The Foundation, established in 1995, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors who have a sincere interest in the success of our students and staff.

Caring citizens, elected officials, educators, parents, alumni, corporate partners, and business leaders, demonstrate support of the HEB ISD through their participation in the good work of the Foundation. Please join us.

 

Empowered to Excel Grants

To date, the Foundation has raised and awarded more than $450,000 to our deserving HEB ISD classrooms and campuses, funding needs our educators identify – everything from books, materials, and International Baccalaureate program supplies, to digital audio books for increased reading comprehension and a theatrical production involving an entire 6th grade, including the special needs students.

Classroom teachers (grants available up to $1000) and campus teams (grants available up to $5000) submit grant applications in the spring, which are evaluated by a Foundation committee, then grant monies are utilized in the following academic school year. The 2012 application, posted here, is due to the Foundation office by 4:00 p.m. on Monday, April 2, 2012. Please apply!
