For the students and families who depend on Dallas ISD, supporting the Dallas Education Foundation perfectly aligns with our commitment to fueling safe and thriving communities. We are proud to contribute resources that enhance scholastic technology and otherwise support teachers' diverse needs, ultimately helping to ensure that all students read on-level by the third grade and are well prepared for a lifetime of success.

In order for us to prosper as a community we must work together to nurture and educate the future generation. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP is proud to partner with organizations like the Dallas Education Foundation who promote equity for all and ensure student success. As school districts swiftly transitioned to distance learning this year, the Foundation was quick to meet the need of even our most underprivileged children by raising funds for technology and connectivity at home. We are proud of the work of teachers, support staff and administration members as we gear up for a new school year and look forward to a vibrant future.

The Dallas Education Foundation is an important source of support every day and when we have needed it most. DEF has proved itself a valuable partner, adding value to the lives of teachers and students in ways that uniquely complement the services offered by district schools and staff.

After tornadoes devastated our school last fall, the Dallas Education Foundation provided support we didn’t know was possible — from replacing classroom supplies and athletic equipment to supporting our teachers’ well-being and making our new temporary residence a place we want to be. They have purchased additional security equipment and helped create a wall of canvas photographs that tell our story. We are incredibly grateful.

On behalf of the Burnet Elementary family, I want to thank the Dallas Education Foundation for being a ray of light in truly dark times. When our school community was devastated by an F3 tornado, DEF provided us $50,000 through a partnership with PNC Bank to help rebuild our school. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, the Foundation again stepped up with $30,000 worth of iPads for our students. Some will remember the 2019-2020 school year for its tragedies and loss. At Burnet, we will remember it for the sense of community, care, and service provided by the Dallas Education Foundation—a lighthouse of hope.

It is an incredible benefit to Dallas ISD to have the Dallas Education Foundation as our philanthropic partner. The Foundation simplifies giving to the district and is strategic in how donor funds are distributed in support of our students and schools.

The Dallas Education Foundation is a fundamental part of Dallas ISD’s commitment to working hand-in-hand with the generous philanthropic community in Dallas and nationally.
