2024-25 Funding Drives & Campaigns

$1 Million Goal. $927,707 in total giving since 2003.

Help Us Reach Our $1 Million Goal!

Due to the generous donations of our sponsors since 2003, the Decatur Education Foundation has awarded $927,707 to our teachers to support initiatives that strengthen the quality of education in Decatur ISD.

The 2023-24 school year was particularly fruitful. Thanks to wonderful supporters like you, we were able to raise and donate record-breaking $108,765.17 to Decatur ISD.

We would love to build upon that success with another record-breaking year, which would also ensure that we can hit our goal of giving $1,000,000 to the school district.
