Build the Legacy.
Invest in Gonzales.
An investment in education is an investment in the future of Gonzales. The Gonzales ISD Education Foundation Endowment Fund is designed for long-term impact, providing perpetual support for student scholarships and classroom innovation.
-
Your Gift, Invested for Generations
Unlike one-time gifts, your endowment contribution is preserved and invested, with only the earnings used to fund scholarships. This structure ensures that your gift keeps working for generations of Gonzales students.
-
Locally Managed. Deeply Rooted.
The fund is managed in partnership with Edward Jones and is supported by local leadership, including a former valedictorian of Gonzales High School who has returned to support the community’s future.
