ABOUT CEF
Our Mission
The Crosby Education Foundation will partner with the community to provide resources to enrich teaching, inspire learning, and maximize innovative opportunities for all students in the Crosby Independent School District.
Founded in 2011, The Crosby Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 non profit tax-exempt charitable organization.
The Foundation links community resources — time, money, services, expertise — with the needs of our schools to enhance and complement the educational mission of Crosby.
In the past ten years, with the generous support from the community and sponsors, the Foundation has proudly provided more than $1,000,000 in support, benefiting Crosby students and staff.
