MISD Education Foundation Grants
Contributions to the Education Foundation make a difference in education through our long-standing grant program. Since 1998, through the generosity of our donors, the foundation has provided over $5 million to fund creative, innovative learning opportunities that go well beyond what tax dollars alone can provide.
Grants are awarded in all shapes, sizes, and subject matter. From literacy to math, history, science, fine arts, STEM, athletics, and social emotional health, each grant application is read and evaluated by a committee of educators and foundation board members.
Traditional Grants are awarded in the fall during an exciting, two-day Grant Patrol through the district. Foundation board members, school district administrators, and volunteers board buses and travel to campuses throughout the district surprising grant winners with a large check and a heart-felt congratulatory cheer.
