ABOUT US

For more than 40 years, The Richardson ISD Foundation has raised money exclusively to benefit the Richardson Independent School District (RISD). Founded in 1984, it is the third oldest education foundation in Texas. The Foundation has raised more than $8 million for RISD, supporting 37,000-plus students and nearly 6,000 teachers and staff by partnering with individuals, local businesses, and community organizations. Our funding priorities include early childhood literacy, STEM initiatives, equity programs, and more.
