Mission and programs · 2024

• The HISD Foundation (Foundation) supports the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and its mission of providing every student with a consistently rigorous education in a safe environment. Established in 1993, the Foundation is governed by a volunteer board of directors that includes local businesses, industry, and community leaders. The Foundation works with the Superintendent of Schools, HISD Board of Education, and Houston's business leaders and philanthropic community to raise funds for the district, provide support for teachers, students, and parents, and raise awareness of the district's commitment to providing every student with a quality education.See Schedule O for further details.The Foundation supports HISD and school-based programs and initiatives to increase academic achievement, eliminate the minority achievement gap, and develop and retain effective educators in every classroom.The Foundation believes equity, literacy, innovation, college access, and great people can prepare students for college and the workforce.

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
