We did it!
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the Dallas Education Foundation celebrated its most successful North Texas Giving Day yet—exceeding our fundraising goal and raising an extraordinary $84,641.67 for Dallas ISD students and educators.
This achievement belongs to everyone who made a gift, shared our message, encouraged others to participate, or started a conversation about the importance of investing in public education. Every act of support demonstrated what is possible when Dallas comes together for its students.
Generosity That Multiplied Our Impact
We are especially grateful to Katherine and Eric Reeves, Falguni and Rohit Dand, and Angela and Chris Bhatti for providing generous matching gifts. Their commitment inspired even greater participation and multiplied the impact of every donation.
Because of their generosity—and the generosity of everyone who contributed—more resources and opportunities will reach students and educators throughout Dallas ISD.
More Than a Single Day
North Texas Giving Day was an important milestone, but One District. 130,000 Reasons to Give. represents much more than a one-day campaign. It is a year-round commitment to the students whose ideas, talents, and dreams will shape the future of Dallas.
The support raised through this campaign will help young readers develop strong academic foundations, empower educators to bring innovative ideas to life, and connect students with meaningful experiences that prepare them for college, careers, and whatever comes next.
Every gift helps create opportunities for students to discover their potential, explore new possibilities, and envision brighter futures.
Building the Future of Dallas Together
Today, we celebrate the remarkable impact our community made possible. We celebrate every donor, advocate, partner, and supporter who believes in the promise of Dallas ISD students.
Tomorrow, we continue the work.
Together, we can build greater opportunities for every student and strengthen the future of our entire city.
One District. 130,000 reasons to believe in the future of Dallas.
