About the Foundation

The Plano ISD Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is helping all students in Plano public schools achieve their full potential by providing financial support to educators and academic programs. The Foundation generates private support for priority projects identified by the Plano Independent School District for which tax dollars are not available. All contributions stay in Plano ISD and are tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.

The Board of Directors consists of business and community leaders who recognize the importance of excellent public schools to the Plano community. Support generated by the Plano ISD Education Foundation ensures Plano ISD remains one of the best public school districts in the nation.

The Plano ISD Education Foundation was organized in 1993. Since 2000 almost $7 million has been gifted to Plano ISD for programs and services of importance to the school district. For additional information or to make a donation, email foundation@pisd.edu or call (469) 752-8272. Download brochure.

"I Love Plano ISD" Campaign Continues

"I Love Plano ISD" campaign continues after huge success last year. The Education Foundation raised more than $50,000 through community donations in the "I Love Plano ISD" and "$60 Million Reasons to Give" campaigns. 

"This year, we hope to increase the number of signs displayed in the community," said Monica Shortino, executive director of the Plano ISD Education Foundation. "As the needs of the district continue to grow and state funding reduces, it is critical that the community joins with the district in the common effort to continue providing top-notch education to Plano students." 

The "I Love Plano ISD" Campaign focuses on district needs for which tax dollars are not available. Enrichment programs such as additional mathematics, science and technology instruction, educator grants, fifth grade camp scholarships, programs to fill achievement gaps and many others will be sustained by these funds. The Foundation raised more than $1 million last year through community support, all of which stayed within the district.

The Foundation kicked off the campaign at school open houses across the district and mailing brochures to Plano residents and business owners to garner their support.
