Mission
To provide financial support to Durango School District 9-R for programs, materials, and technology needs that fall outside the capacity of the regular school district budget.
About
In 2018, Durango Education Foundation continued to concentrate on giving financial support to Durango School District 9-R ("9-R") classrooms and to community organizations which serve 9-R students. Every school in the district received funding from DEF efforts. DEF funded grants to teachers and community organizations to support a range of academic programs, materials and technology needs throughout the school district. Grants funded such needs as: interactive technology devices, pilot programs, independent reading and science libraries, research references, engineering and robotics, and more. DEF grants affected the education of at least 80% of the students in the district. DEF created two (2) additional scholarship opportunities, administered 11 scholarships and academic awards, provided grants for performing and visual arts education, assisted various student academic competition and travel expenses, and funded smaller classroom projects. As fiscal agents, DEF assisted in fundraising for the Durango High School Alumni activities, Sunnyside Branch Library, and Florida Mesa Branch Library.
