Since 1985, the Irving Schools Foundation has been a vital presence in the Irving ISD community, funding programs that touch and transform the lives of thousands of students, teachers, and district employees every year.
Over 85% of Irving ISD students are economically disadvantaged, and because of the many educational barriers they face, they hear ânoâ often. âNo, you canât go to college,â or âno, there arenât enough funds for this after-school program,â but at the Irving Schools Foundation, we are here to say YES to our students! We say âyesâ by providing over $400,000 in scholarships to our graduating seniors every year. We say âyesâ by funding innovative and out-of-the-ordinary learning opportunities through our Spark Tank program. Lastly, we say âyesâ by providing over 1,000 weekly food bags to students through our Food for Thought program. These are just some examples of the amazing programs that we offer âand with your help, weâll do even greater things in the future. Are you ready to join us and make a difference?
