What Hallsville Isd Education Foundation Inc does

The Hallsville ISD Education Foundation Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2001 and headquartered at 300 Willow Street, Hallsville, Texas, governed by a volunteer board of business, community, and education leaders and operated by a small team (1-10 employees) under Executive Director Beth Godsey. Its sole mission is to raise private funds that fill gaps in the Hallsville Independent School District's regular operating budget, channeling donations into innovative classroom teaching grants, technology acquisition, teacher excellence recognition, staff development, dual credit scholarships, and basic-needs support for at-risk students.

Since 2002 the foundation has awarded 324 grants totaling more than $925,000. Its core offerings include Innovative Teaching Grants (awarded through a formal March-deadline application and April-award process, with $58,585 distributed to 66 teachers in Spring 2023), Dual Credit Scholarships for students, and a Top 10% Academic Reception recognizing graduating seniors and distinguished educators. The product mix also includes a Distinguished Alumni recognition program delivered in partnership with the Hallsville ISD Alumni Association.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations via a portfolio of community-driven fundraising programs: the annual Get Rowdy, Get Loud gala (raised approximately $126,000 in 2022 and approximately $140,000 in 2023), the Annual Golf Tournament at Pinecrest Country Club (approximately $10,000/year), an Employee Giving Campaign ($36,200+ pledged by 596 HISD employees in 2023-2024), a #GivingTuesday text-to-donate campaign, Personalized Engraved Bricks ($50 each at the Hallsville High School entrance), and individual/corporate donations. Distribution occurs via direct grant disbursement to teachers and scholarships to students, all confined to the single Hallsville ISD catchment.
