The Forney Education Foundation (FEF) partners with our community to invest in the future of Forney ISD students and educators.
Through innovative teaching grants, scholarships, classroom resources, and programs that celebrate excellence, FEF is helping shape brighter opportunities for every student.
Since 2004, FEF has awarded more than $2 million in scholarships and over $1.45 million in innovative teaching grants—empowering teachers, inspiring students, and enriching education across Forney ISD. In recent years, FEF has expanded its impact through new initiatives like the Forney ISD Film Festival, summer STEAM Camps, and Project Backpack, which provided backpacks and school supplies to over 1,800 students in 2025.
Our mission is simple: to meet the evolving needs of Forney ISD teachers and students while ensuring every child has the tools to succeed. None of this would be possible without the continued support of partners like you.
