Our Needs

The Denton Public School Foundation creates opportunities for students, staff and teachers. We invest in teaching materials and experiences that are not funded by other Denton ISD monies as well as awarding scholarships for teachers, staff and graduating seniors. Currently, we are seeking funds to go towards these efforts, as well as helping to grow the Foundation's capabilities to meet even more of these needs. in 2020-21 while we were successful in awarding funding to 123 teachers and staff and 183 graduating seniors, we had applications from 208 teachers and staff and just under 600 seniors, leaving many unfunded. Our goal is to raise funds to give a greater percentage of awards to both groups.

The Foundation is also in need of volunteers to work with its fundraising initiatives and outreach, key elements in more successfully meeting our overall goals.
