Supporting Education and Innovation.

The Midlothian ISD Education Foundation was founded in 2004 as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity to support the educational programs for both students and staff of MISD. The Foundation works to provide funds for educational programs and activities that either have not been funded or have been under-funded because of budgetary constraints.
The mission of the Midlothian ISD Education Foundation is to generate and distribute resources to the Midlothian Independent School District. These resources will be used to enrich, maintain and expand programs needed to meet and/or exceed the district’s stated mission of educating students by empowering them to maximize their potential.
The Midlothian ISD Education Foundation works to increase private support for education activities at MISD which benefits students and personnel by supporting activities not funded by tax dollars. MEF fosters creative approaches to education through private grants, involvement and awards foundation funds. All of this is made possible through our volunteer board of directors made up of business, community and educational leaders.
