Lago Vista ISD Education Foundation
Make a difference today for a better tomorrow.
About Us
The LVISDEF works with the community to enrich, maintain and expand programs in order to meet the district's stated mission of excellence. We foster creative approaches to education through private grants as well as student achievement through PSAT costs for 9th and 10th grade exams.
Our Bylaws can be found here.
2022- 2023 Initiatives
Help us join the National Giving Tuesday Campaign to secure donations from our community! Our goal is to raise money for teacher grants and PSAT tests. Every dollar given up to $10,250 will be matched by a friend of the foundation!
Help us mobilize and sell raffle tickets for a chance to win one of three chef prepared dinners for Super Bowl Sunday.
