A Record-Breaking Grantsgiving Celebration!
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 built to support ALL in KISD!
The O.N.E. Fund has seen unprecedented demand this year, receiving 104 applications in just 67 days, compared to 83 over the entire previous year. So far, the Foundation has funded 47 projects, distributing $13,725.30 across classrooms to support needs in Literacy, STEAM, Special Programs, and Fine Arts. Funding has reached every corner of Keller ISD, impacting campuses in the Keller, Central, Fossil Ridge, and Timber Creek feeder patterns. This rapid growth reflects the vital role the O.N.E. Fund plays in helping educators fill instructional gaps and provide meaningful, immediate support to students districtwide.
