Too many students across the Issaquah School District sit just outside the door of an opportunity- an after-school tutoring program, a skill-building club experience, innovative early reading supports- simply because the funding isn’t there. The Keyholders change that. When you give monthly, you put a key in a student’s hand, every single month, from preschool to graduation.

Meet The Keyholders: The People Who Open Doors.

Every student in the Issaquah School District deserves access to the experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence, and unlock potential, no matter their zip code, their classroom, or their family’s circumstances.

But here’s the reality: the most innovative, life-changing programs don’t fund themselves. Budgets get cut. Supports disappear. After-school enrichment stays out of reach for the kids who need it most.

That’s where you come in.

The Keyholders are a community of local neighbors, parents, and education advocates who give a monthly gift to ensure that every student in every ISD school, from preschool through graduation, has access to the opportunities that shape who they become, opportunities that district budgets alone can’t provide.

Your monthly gift isn’t just a donation. It’s a commitment. It’s a key. And because you give consistently, we can plan confidently, invest boldly, and say YES to students all year long.

When you join The Keyholders, you’re becoming part of the reason a kid in kindergarten gets to use Benchmark Magnetic Tiles. The reason a middle schooler discovers a passion for robotics. The reason a high school senior walks across the stage having experienced every opportunity this community could give them.

That’s the kind of person you are. And The Keyholders is where you belong.

You can help students reach the promise of their potential.

Every program. Every student. Every school. Watch what’s possible when a community of Keyholders shows up, month after month.

“My husband and I are monthly donors and have been for the past several years. We moved to Issaquah to be closer to our son’s family- we have two grandchildren attending Issaquah schools. Although we are a fortunate community and family, the Foundation recognizes the needs of all children attending our schools. It is a dynamic organization that offers many ways to support our community’s children and educators. Our children are our future and as such, our support must be for all children not just for our own. I cannot think of a better way to support our community than through the works of the Issaquah Schools Foundation.”
