Endowment: Inspiring the Future Today
The Humble ISD Education Foundation empowers educators and supports pathways for students to be successful in the classroom and beyond. Our mission is to inspire innovation and enhance academic opportunities to create the foundation for lifelong learning.
When our Humble ISD community stepped up to create the Foundation in 1999, they did so with the intention to also plan for the future. From the very beginning, the Foundation has been investing 30% of all unrestricted donations in an endowment with the intention to grow the endowment to $5 million. At that point, the interest earned would fund approximately $250,000 in innovative classrooms projects annually.
Having a strong endowment means Humble ISD educators and students still receive the financial support they deserve, year after year, regardless of catastrophes or events that impact fundraising that year. The Foundation’s endowment currently sits it about $2 million. The Foundation Board of Directors are seeking your support to help build this endowment and inspire the future TODAY.
How to Support
There are many options in supporting this endowment campaign including:
