Big ideas start in the classroom, and the Friendswood ISD Education Foundation (FEF) is inviting the community to help bring them to life! The annual Adopt-A-Grant campaign officially kicks off on #GivingTuesday, giving families, local businesses, and community members an opportunity to invest in innovative learning opportunities for Friendswood ISD students and teachers.
Through Adopt-A-Grant, community members can browse grant proposals submitted by FISD educators and choose which projects they would like to support. Grants span a variety of subjects and learning experiences, from hands-on STEM activities and innovative classroom technology to literacy initiatives, fine arts, and creative learning tools. Grants will be available for adoption online December 1, 2026, through March 5, 2027.
The impact of this community-wide effort continues to grow. Last year's Adopt-A-Grant campaign raised more than $493,000 and funded over 590 grants across Friendswood ISD. Building on that incredible momentum, educators submitted more than 470 grant proposals totaling over $470,000 for the 2026–2027 school year. Each proposal reflects an educator's vision for creating new and engaging learning experiences for FISD students.
Community members can visit https://fef.myfisd.com/o/fef/page/grants to view available projects and make a contribution. Donors may also support campus-based grant treasure chests, helping provide additional resources and opportunities to schools throughout the district.
The Adopt-A-Grant campaign offers a meaningful way to invest in local education during the season of giving. All donations are tax-deductible, and 100% of contributions go directly back to support FISD schools, teachers, and students through classroom projects and educational opportunities.
Following the campaign, FEF will review remaining grant opportunities and use proceeds from its annual fundraising events to help fund additional projects, extending the reach of community support and allowing even more educators and students to benefit.
The Friendswood ISD Education Foundation is grateful for the continued generosity of its donors, corporate partners, and community members who make these opportunities possible. Through the support of our community, innovative ideas become meaningful learning experiences, empowering educators and creating opportunities for every Mustang to thrive.
