About us
History
The Brownwood Education Foundation was originally founded over thirty years ago under the name of the Foundation for Excellence and functioned as a small group of alumni aimed at supporting Brownwood ISD. After a number of years, the Foundation for Excellence went dormant. In 2014, the group re-organized under a new Board of Directors. In 2016, we changed our name to the Brownwood Education Foundation, clarified our vision, and began working in earnest to raise monies for the support of BISD teachers and students. Today, we are a vibrant and growing foundation with a very active Board of Directors and Advisory Committee, striving to fund innovative teaching within our classrooms and supporting the faculty and staff of the district.

Goals
The Goals of the Brownwood Education Foundation are:
- To secure resources from the private sector and distribute them via grants to support innovative teaching within the district. These grants will be distributed by an application process and will fund curriculum, supplies, technology and out-of-the-classroom trips not typically funded through local, state or federal budgeting.
- To provide Excellence in Teaching awards to BISD staff during yearly ceremonies, in conjunction with the BISD Administration, and to fund teacher/staff appreciation efforts throughout the year.
