About the Foundation
Through innovative teaching
grants, educators are given
an opportunity to use the
resources of the Foundation
to supplement their creative
teaching methods in the
classroom. The energy and
creativity inherent in these
programs spark the
imagination of students, and
build upon an already
positive learning
environment. Teachers are
challenged to achieve new
levels of creativity and
students are, likewise,
challenged to achieve
greater understanding
through learning. Matching
grants are also
awarded to school principals
so that they may directly
address the unique needs of
their schools.
In addition to meeting
certain immediate needs of
our schools through creative
and meaningful grant
programs, the Coppell ISD
Education Foundation works
hard to lay the cornerstone
for our children’s future.
Through the creation and
continual funding of a
permanent endowment fund,
the Foundation seeks to
provide educational
enrichment opportunities for
the children of tomorrow.
Our entire community shares
in the benefits that only
the highest standards of
educational excellence and a
strong school district
provide. The Coppell ISD
benefits greatly from the
combined efforts of men and
women who love their
children and their community
and desire to see each
realize its greatest
potential.
The Coppell ISD Education
Foundation is governed by an
independent Board of Directors
comprised of volunteers
representing the community and
businesses served by the Coppell
ISD. The Board of Directors
presides over all operations of
the Foundation, including the
“Red & Black Attack” Campaign
(soliciting individual
contributions), the Legacy
Partners
Campaign (soliciting multi-year
commitments from our business
community) and annual
contributions to the Permanent
Endowment Fund (the “Bricks &
Benches” and private bequest
programs).
These important means of funding
the Foundation’s efforts allow
for the award of innovative
teaching grants and matching
grants (delivered by means of
the “Prize Patrol”). The
Foundation also conducts the
Annual Student/Teacher Academic
Recognition Banquet which honors
those students and teachers who
have exhibited the highest
standards of educational
excellence in the Coppell ISD.
Finally, the Foundation
facilitates the growth and
development of the Coppell High
School Alumni Association. The
continuing interest and
financial support of our
District Alumni will lend
support to the Foundation’s
goals in the years to come.

Despite the tremendous dedication of our educators, we still require the full
participation of our community to realize the Coppell ISD’s goals of Excellence
in Education. Without your help, the greatest hopes and dreams of our talented
educators and students may go unfulfilled. You can help us build a strong
Foundation for tomorrow by:

Campaign
- Contributing directly or by means of a bequest toward the Permanent
Endowment Fund to plan for tomorrow’s needs today

child’s favorite teacher or a beloved family member

value may be given genuine significance by supporting our schools

this important effort!

The Foundation is dedicated to delivering as much of the funds raised through
its various efforts directly to the classroom for
the benefit of our students and educators. Please remember that all
contributions to the CISD Education Foundation are tax-deductible. There are
many different ways to support our District’s students and teachers, including:
- Personal gifts…cash or check
- Gifts-in-kind or cash equivalent gifts…securities, real estate or other
properties such as collections, paintings,
jewelry and automobiles. Gifts of this nature require that you consult a tax
professional to determine the full
value of the deduction allowed by law.
- Estate Planned Giving…by naming the Foundation as a beneficiary in
wills, trusts, life insurance, and other
options recommended by an estate planner. For further information, contact
the Foundation office.
- Matched giving: Contributions may be doubled or tripled when matched by
an employer. Please check with your
employer to see if your contribution to the Foundation is eligible for this
type of matching fund giving
Remember, gifts may be given in memory or honor of family or friends. You may
donate your time and talents to assist with
fundraising events or other projects of the Foundation. Rest assured that,
whatever means of giving to the Foundation you
might choose, each gift is greatly appreciated and lends valuable support to our
schools, our students and our community.
