We’re immensely grateful to every Dallas ISD employee who contributed to this year’s Employee Giving Campaign. Thanks to you, 100% of your donations will support the Dallas Education Foundation’s impactful programs—fueling the next generation of leaders, readers, and innovators in our district.
Early Learning
Your gifts help DEF partner with Dallas ISD’s Early Learning department to give our youngest scholars—from Pre‑K through second grade—the foundational reading skills they need to thrive. Together, we nurture curiosity and confidence at the very start of each child’s educational journey.
Literacy
With your support, DEF is expanding home library initiatives—distributing culturally relevant book packs and installing book vending machines across campuses. By putting engaging books directly into students’ hands (and homes), we’re fostering a lifelong love of reading and strengthening family engagement.
Postsecondary Success
Your generosity powers programs that prepare Dallas ISD scholars for life beyond high school—whether that’s college, vocational training, or immediate entry into the workforce. DEF funds Career‑Connected Learning, Career Institutes, P‑TECH, and other college‑access initiatives, ensuring every student can pursue their dreams.
Innovative Teaching Grants
You also make possible the Heart of Teaching and other grant programs that empower educators to design cutting‑edge projects—from arts integration to special education innovations—that advance equity, engagement, and belonging in every classroom.
If you didn’t get a chance to join the campaign, you can still make an impact. Visit dallasedfound.org/donate and be part of a community that believes in equity, access, inclusion, and belonging for all 140,000+ Dallas ISD students. Together, we accelerate student success—and every gift counts!
