Employee Giving Campaign
Become a Classroom Champion and donate to the Employee Giving Campaign!

#PISDClassroomChampions
This year, the Education Foundation will give more than $2M in funding to programs that directly support staff members, students and their families. Staff support programs include the Employee Crisis Fund, CORE Store, Employee Wellness Program and Grants to Educators. The Foundation hopes to raise $80,000 during this employee campaign to help fund these important programs.
Plano ISD employees may make their contributions via payroll deduction, check or online with a credit card. Below is the Employee Campaign Pledge form. As you complete the form, keep in mind if your donation is $40 or more, you will receive a 2026-2027 Employee Campaign shirt to celebrate your contribution!
Campaign Toolkit for Education Foundation Ambassadors
This tool kit was created to help our Ambassadors run a successful campaign. They are responsible for promoting and communicating the campaign to their campuses or departments, tracking pledges via a link that will be emailed to them, distributing t-shirts and for dropping off any checks received to the Foundation at the end of the campaign. We are so appreciative of your help raising these incredibly meaningful dollars! If you have questions, please contact the Foundation via email Jennifer Rotter.
Email Information
We want to make sharing campaign details with campuses and departments as easy as possible for our Ambassadors. Feel free to copy and paste this draft email to help spread the word.
