Absolutely! Everything is completely free for employees in Northwest ISD. Thanks to the generosity of NEF donors – including NISD staff! – the resource store and library provides NISD teachers with the unique advantage of receiving free materials for their classrooms.

No. The Northwest ISD Education Foundation is a separate entity that works closely with the district, and exists to support teachers and students in NISD.

NEF is a nonprofit that is solely supported sponsorships, donors, and employee giving. The foundation does not receive funding from the district. Learn more about our mission and our programs. 

Yes, to ensure equity for all NISD educators, we do set some limits. We also limit the type of product we purchase for the store, such as flair pens, as they are simply too expensive to purchase equitably.

• Educators can shop for up to 30 unique items per visit and 30 books per month from the library.

• Many of the student items in the resource store can be taken in class sets of up to 30... see the guidelines in the store or the online form for more information.

Our goal is always to make the best use of donor funds and to have the biggest impact on classrooms across the district!
