Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Educational Foundation

Description

In 1997, community leaders created the non-profit C-FB ISD Educational Foundation to enrich opportunities with the district schools.

Today, the Educational Foundation offers annual grants and scholarships to students and teachers that:

*Promote academic excellence

*Stimulate creative thinking

*Encourage innovation

*Broaden life experiences

*Enrich classroom teaching

Since its inception, the Educational Foundation has awarded over $1.2 million in the form of student scholarships, teacher grants, student enrichment grants and district program and campus grants.

These grants and scholarships have enriched public education in our community by:

*Encouraging academic excellence in the school district by providing funding not available through traditional local, state and federal resources

*Provided a perpetual source of funds through endowed gifts established by generous donors

*Served as a catalyst and conduit for involving the six communities which are served by C-FB ISD

* Ensured that as many schools in the district as possible have the opportunity to receive funds for an appropriate program each school year
