The Red Oak ISD Education Foundation believes that there is no greater investment than that of education. As the philanthropic partner to the school district, the Foundation provides ROISD students with exceptional programs that will enhance the quality of education and present them with opportunities they may not otherwise experience.

By partnering with the Foundation, you will have the opportunity to make your presence felt in the learning experiences of our students and enrich the lives of a future generation.

How does the Foundation help ROISD?

Because of the support from our generous donors, the ROISD Education Foundation has been able to provide almost $1.9 million to Red Oak ISD.

None of these grand achievements would be possible without the generous support of our donors. We appreciate each and every contribution, from corporate project funding and our phenomenal employee partner program to friendships with local business owners and gifts from parents. Together, we are better!

How does the Foundation raise funds?

• Partnership Challenge Golf Tournament
• Designer Handbag Bingo Fundraiser - Handbags for Hawks
• ROISD Employee Partner Program
• Campus coin drive competition Jar Wars
• General donations

In addition to donating financially or in-kind, there are many volunteer opportunities.
