Endowments An endowment is a permanent savings plan that spends on the interest produced by the account each year. Your contribution to the endowment fund will support the GPEF in its quest to assist in the development of innovative, imaginative and inspirational programs that benefit our students by supporting teacher initiatives and growth through scholarships and teachers grants.
Scholarships Your scholarship gift can acknowledge and honor a teacher, mentor, academic, athletic or extra-curricular discipline that has had a positive impact on the person that you’ve become.
Memorials By establishing a permanent memorial you can pay tribute to individuals who have made lifetime impressions on those they have served and honor someone who has made your life better. Planned Gifts The donation of real property, trusts, life insurance, and other bequests to the GPEF will help to build the endowment fund and secure programs for future generations. Special Projects Special learning projects also need funding. Donations to special projects let you support class or individual projects that are dear to you.

Graham Public Education Foundation GPEF • 400 Third Street • Graham, Texas 76450 WHO WE ARE The Graham Public Education Foundation (GPEF) is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to enriching and enhancing the education of Graham ISD students. It supplies funds for innovative, imaginative, and inspirational projects and programs outside of the regular school district budget through a grant application process. The founders of this organization come from a cross section of the community and have a vision of excellence for the school district.
ESTABLISHMENT The GPEF was officially initiated by the Graham ISD Board of Trustees in October of 2010 and received its first donation in November 2010. All donations to the GPEF are tax-deductible as defined by IRS code. The GPEF operates independently, but in cooperation, with the district.
OUR MISSION The founders realize the lack of funds from the state, national, and local tax dollars limits programs and services to students. To alleviate that problem, the GPEF actively seeks donors including alumni, citizens, businesses, corporations, and other foundations. Donated funds will enhance innovative, imaginative, and inspirational programs that benefit students and support teacher initiatives and growth. The GPEF seeks to create a permanent endowment that will supplement public education dollars. Programs will be funded from donations and endowment earnings.
