Supporting the Foundation

Why is your gift important?

The Education Foundation provides private funding directly for creative and innovative programs that enhance the learning experience and encourage staff excellence. Your gift helps to ensure that Aransas County ISD students will graduate with the quality career and academic tools necessary to become productive citizens.

Where do the funds go?

Every school in Aransas County ISD benefits from the ACISD Education Foundation grant programs that train teachers, provide equipment, and offer new instructional experiences to students of all ages. Each year, grant proposals are submitted to the Education Foundation and undergo an extensive review process following the grants committee guidelines. The number of grants awarded depends upon the amount of money raised through the Education Foundation’s annual fundraising events.

Aransas County Education Foundation grants support a wide variety of programs and classroom needs in the ACISD system, some highlights include:

Funding classroom technology upgrades including Chromebooks, new projectors, and digital whiteboards.
Funding after-school programs for students of all ages, facilitated by the ACISD ACE Program

Making sure programs such as ROTC and Welding Classes are able to stay in our schools.
Funding to launch the new Maritime Club in partnership with the ACISD ACE Program.
