Austin's future is sitting in our classrooms today.

Who We Are

At the Austin Ed Fund, we believe a student's potential should dictate their future—not their zip code or financial circumstances. By connecting community generosity with strategic district partnerships, we bridge the gap between classroom learning and future success. We fund milestone experiences that open doors, spark ambitions, and prepare Austin ISD students to thrive in college, careers, and life.
