Whether you're on the giving or the receiving side of an act of charity, a spirit of gratitude is sure to follow.
Here at the
Douglas County Educational Foundation (DCEF), we are fortunate to be in a position to give to those in need; however, we're equally blessed to be witness to their gratitude.
From this single parent of three students: "Please thank the person who took the extra time and effort to get the backpacks and supplies to our school. We really appreciate it so that my kiddos could have them to use beginning Day 1. The work you do is so important for so many people."
With the help of several dozen volunteers and supporters like you, DCEF was able to outfit 1,500 students in need to get the school year started on the right foot.
This past year, DCEF, helped some 1,000 students attend Young Ameritowne to learn the basics of commerce and a free-market economy. Our Career Expo, once again, hosted over 5,300 8th grade students who met with a variety of employers and organizations, including 10 Fortune 500 companies.
Thanks to our DCEF partner organizations, we saw over 9,000 tickets purchased for family-friendly entertainment like the theater and sporting events which resulted in over $35,500 raised for our schools. Lastly, we are grateful to support our DCEF Chapters who raised $5.5 million for their respective schools.
All of these functions are made possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters. As we wrap up the year, would you please consider supporting the efforts of DCEF? Your donation will go directly to positively impacting our students, teachers, and classrooms of Douglas County Schools. There are several options for directing your gift which can be found by

Gratefully yours,
