GCEF Welcomes New Executive Director

The Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of Meredith Martin as its new Executive Director. Meredith succeeds Jane Richards, who retired in December after years of dedicated service to the Foundation and our GCISD community.

With over 25 years of experience across non-profit, governmental, and private sectors, Meredith brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to service. Her expertise in project management, marketing, and fundraising, combined with a passion for community engagement, makes her an exceptional leader for GCEF as we continue to champion innovative educational opportunities for our students and teachers.

Most recently, Meredith served as Director of Community Engagement at GRACE, where she led successful fundraising initiatives and built strong relationships with volunteers, corporate sponsors, and community partners. Her career also includes leadership roles at the Greater Fort Worth Builders Association and a legacy of impactful community development.

Meredith is no stranger to GCISD or the Grapevine-Colleyville area. As an active member of organizations such as Grapevine Rotary and various Chambers of Commerce, she understands the values and aspirations of our community. Her collaborative spirit and strategic mindset will be invaluable as we work together to support educational excellence across our district.

Meredith shared, “I am honored to join the Grapevine-Colleyville Education Foundation and build on its strong legacy of supporting innovation and excellence in our schools. I’m excited to partner with our incredible educators, donors, and community to make a lasting impact for GCISD students and teachers.”

Please join us in welcoming Meredith Martin to the Foundation. We look forward to the exciting work ahead under her leadership.
