How You Can Still Give Back to DPS This Year

The school year may be halfway over, but our 2024-25 vision is still in progress. To help us achieve our goals, we have launched the 2024 Days of Giving campaign. 

Every dollar we raise between now and Dec. 31 will take us one step further to achieving our 2024-25 goals (and then some). Goals such as:

  • Bolstering focused programs and resources to set up every Durham Public Schools student for career success;

  • Cultivating teachers’ leadership skills through year-long coaching and funding;

  • Providing working-class DPS families with resources to gather, connect, and advocate for their students;

  • Furthering our WHOLE School’s initiative by supporting 33 DPS staff who have stepped up as mental health ambassadors at their school.

You may have caught the launch of our campaign on Thanksgiving when we announced our drawing with Crayons2Calculators. Throughout December, we’ll be providing plenty of other chances to win prizes from local businesses, community partners, and more. 

We at the Durham Public Schools Foundation feel that, when our public schools thrive, Durham thrives. Help us continue building a brighter future — together.

Are you currently a monthly sustainer? Or have you donated at least $200 since July 22, when our year-round schools began? Then, good news! You automatically qualify for our drawings throughout December. We will contact our winners no later than January.
