Grants
Since 2004 the Mesquite ISD Education Foundation has funded more than 800 programs totaling close to $5 Million.
The Mesquite ISD Education Foundation provides funds for projects outside the regular school district budget through a grant application process. Funds donated by the greater community enhance innovative programs that benefit students and support teacher initiatives and growth. Grant applications must align with the Campus/District Improvement Plan, established curriculum framework, and co-curricular activities.
The 2025-26 Grant Guidelines and Applications are now available.

(Grants funded for the 2025-2026 school year)
Innovation Grants:
Innovation Grants must be a minimum of $10,000 and no more than $15,000. The Education Foundation is seeking to fund high impact innovation that challenges norms.
Campus Grants:
Mesquite ISD campuses are eligible to receive a maximum of $3.00 per student enrolled, or no less than $2,000. Enrollment is based on the PEIMS “snapshot” date. Campus Grants may be innovative in nature but can also meet other more essential program and campus needs.
