The mission of Northside Education Foundation is to support education in Northside ISD. All non-designated donations go into the Bunny Jean Raba Endowment Fund. The interest earned from the endowment funds the NISD Grants Program for classroom innovation and enrichment.
Donations to NEF can be earmarked to support designated (restricted) funds and can be managed separately from the general (endowment) fund. Anyone interested in creating a new fund can contact NEF. Current Designated Funds are listed below. To donate, make your check out to NEF and add the name of the Designated Fund to the check.
