The Mesquite ISD Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to enriching and enhancing the education of Mesquite's 35,000 students. It supplies funds for projects and programs outside the regular school district budget through a grant application process.

The Board of Directors comes from a cross-section of the community. They have a vision of excellence for the school district, but realize that the lack of funds, both state and local taxpayer dollars, limits programs and services to students. To alleviate that problem, the Foundation actively seeks donors from among alumni, citizens, businesses, corporations, and other foundations. Funds donated by the greater community enhance innovative programs that benefit students and support teacher initiatives and growth.

The Foundation was officially initiated by the MISD Board of Trustees in October 2004 and received its first donation in December 2004. All donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible as defined by the IRS code.
