Who are we?

The SEF is a group of volunteers from the community – including parents, business leaders, and community leaders – who recognize the importance of excellent public schools to the Snyder community. Support generated by the Snyder Education Foundation ensures Snyder ISD moves forward to strive for excellence in everything. 

How does the foundation benefit SISD?

The Snyder Education Foundation gives Snyder ISD schools the ability to offer opportunities and programs to students beyond those already afforded through district funding. Students benefit through the use of high quality, leading edge educational tools and programs, and scholarships assist graduates with additional financial assistance. Teachers benefit by being able to enhance teaching experiences in their classroom. The Education Foundation is a powerful way for community members, businesses, and alumni to identify and fund learning experiences above and beyond those financed through tax dollars.
