Earlier this year, the education foundation awarded grants for innovative projects submitted by GISD teachers and schools, according to GEF president Stacy Mitchell. It was the fourth cycle of the teaching grants, which now total over $137,000 since the foundation began in 2010.The GEF’s mission is creating opportunities to invest, encourage, and support educational excellence in GISD. The foundation is designed to be a community effort bringing donations from businesses, civic groups, and individuals to fund innovative teaching grants, student scholarships, and academic achievement for GISD students. GEF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization created for the benefit of the school district’s students and staff members and will provide funding not allocated by tax dollars.
