• General Gifts . Unrestricted donations that are placed in the General Fund.

• Restricted Gifts . Donations may be restricted for one of the Foundation programs.

• Matched Giving . Donors can often double or triple a contribution with an employer-matching gift. Donors should check with their employer and ask for the company's matched gift form and send the completed form with the contribution to the Mesquite ISD Education Foundation.

• In-kind Gifts . Donations of in-kind services may also be given to the Foundation. Donors may check with the Foundation regarding acceptance of services.

Contributions may also include endowment gifts to ensure the perpetuity of the Foundation. While donations of any amount are accepted, a minimum of $10,000 is required for a named endowment and may be given as a one-time gift or given over five years.
