NORTHWEST ISD EDUCATION FOUNDATION INC

The Northwest ISD Education Foundation (NEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises private funds to support students and educators in Northwest Independent School District (based in the Fort Worth area). It is governed by community leaders and local businesses and focuses on funding initiatives and resources that are not covered by public school funding. NEF runs teaching grant programs, student scholarship programs, a resource store/library for teachers, and district-facing events (examples include a Grant Brigade, scholarship cycles, Back-to-School efforts, and participation in local giving events). In recent years NEF has continued active grantmaking and scholarship awards — for example, NEF’s Grant Brigade awarded approximately $81,000 to educators in December 2024, and the foundation has reported six-figure scholarship distributions in consecutive cycles (notably $160,000+ in the 2025 cycle and a reported $198,000+ referenced for the following cycle).
