About Council on Regional Economic Exp & Educational Development Foundation

A $375,000 grant to Harmony Science Academy for charter public school expansion is the clearest sign of how Council on Regional Economic Exp & Educational Development Foundation works: it backs education initiatives that are designed to change outcomes for students in the El Paso region and surrounding communities. The foundation’s program slate centers on K-12 education, teacher development, dual-credit and college readiness, scholarships, parent engagement, and school design. Its active programs show a mix of scholarship support and capacity building, from teacher certification funds to college scholarships for students in rural districts. CREEED also supports educator pipelines. It has an Accelerated Certification of Teachers scholarship fund to increase the number of educators certified to teach dual credit and early college high school courses, and it provides stipends for teacher candidates in the UTEP Miner Teacher Residency Program. Another strand of its work supports families and community-facing education efforts, including parent engagement workshops and grants tied to local education information and outreach. The foundation’s recent activity includes funding for charter schools, home-school and directed education programs, and technology-related education support.

What Council on Regional Economic Exp & Educational Development Foundation Funds

Teacher development is one of the foundation’s most visible priorities. It gave $145,000 to El Paso Community Foundation for teacher mentorship and $100,000 to Stte Foundation for technology programs and public education, both of which connect to educator and student support in the region. College access also appears in its scholarship work. CREEED operates the F.A.S.T. Rising College Scholarship, a $2,500 award for students from rural districts including Fabens, Anthony, San Elizario, and Tornillo ISDs, and it supports the Excelencia Scholarship for Future Educators, also set at $2,500. Community engagement is another strand. The foundation awarded $105,000 to El Paso Matters to inform the community about education, and its active programs include parent leadership and family education work alongside grants aimed at student success.
