Grants

Issaquah Schools Foundation was formed in 1987 to
support the students of the Issaquah School District in
receiving the best possible educational experience. ISF
recognizes that school budgets are limited and classroom
demands are high. In an effort to enhance the learning
environment in all of our schools, ISF
continues it practice of awarding grants on an annual
basis.
All teachers, administrators and parents within the
Issaquah School District are eligible to apply.
