A Record-Breaking Grantsgiving Celebration!

A group of smiling children and adults gathered in a school hallway, holding a large check and celebrating an achievement.

This year’s Grantsgiving celebration showcased the remarkable impact the Keller ISD Education Foundation continues to make across our district. Over four unforgettable days, the Foundation surprised classrooms with more than $136,000 in educator grants and professional development scholarships, empowering teachers to bring innovative ideas to life and enrich student learning in meaningful ways. From new instructional tools to creative classroom experiences, these grants filled critical funding gaps and championed the educators who shape the future of more than 30,000 Keller ISD students. Grantsgiving is more than a tradition—it’s a powerful reminder of what a community can do when it comes together to support its schools.

O.N.E. Fund: Meeting Everyday Classroom Needs

Now entering its third year, the Keller Education Foundation's O.N.E. Fund continues to grow with one mission: meeting the everyday needs of Keller ISD classrooms.

Over the past two years, the O.N.E. Fund has funded more than 225 classroom requests, saving teachers over $75,000 on essential supplies and resources. This school year, applications will be accepted from mid-September through mid-April, giving teachers time to settle into their classrooms, assess their students' needs, and request support where it's needed most.

The Keller Education Foundation is proud to invest in our educators and looks forward to helping even more classrooms thrive this year.

Golf 26

The KEF Classic for a Cause Golf Tournament, hosted on October 9th at Sky Creek Ranch, was a tremendous success, raising over $90,000 to support educators and students across Keller ISD. Thanks to the generosity of our presenting sponsor Armko Inc. and all of the other sponsors, golfers, and community partners, this signature event continues to fuel innovative classroom projects, professional development opportunities, and essential resources that directly impact teaching and learning. The KEF Classic not only brought the community together for a fun and spirited day on the course, but also reinforced the power of collective support in transforming educational experiences districtwide.  Save the date for next year's tournament on October 8th!
