Conroe ISD Education Foundation will now be district affiliated, following approval by the board of trustees at its Jan. 20 meeting.
The Conroe ISD Education Foundation has served since 2001 as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit, providing financial support through scholarships for students, grants and educational initiatives, its website states.
What to know
CISD Executive Director of Communications Andrew Stewart said the current board of the foundation in October requested the foundation transition to a district-affiliated organization.
“This recommendation reflects their desire to ensure long-term sustainability, alignment and continued impact for Conroe ISD staff and students,” Stewart said.
The following foundation responsibilities would fall under the district’s communications department:
- Donor relations and stewardship
- Scholarship and grant administration
- Fundraising events and campaigns
- Communications, storytelling, and community engagement
A letter of intent between the current board and Conroe ISD will be signed along with a joint meeting to make the transition.
