United Way campaign kicks off to raise money that benefits district schools

Dallas ISD’s annual employee giving campaign, in collaboration with the United Way of Metropolitan Dallas and benefiting the Dallas Education Foundation, started this week with a goal of raising $150,000.

The district's charity of choice, the Dallas Education Foundation, is the philanthropic arm of Dallas ISD, and in 2020 provided over $3 million in funding that supported grants for teachers, campus needs, programming, technology, and project Dream Big—use code E108456 to give to the DEF. If every employee gives at least $10, Dallas ISD will reach the $150,000 giving goal by the Dec. 17 deadline. You can also wear jeans one day a week for $5 each day or a $40 contribution through Dec. 17.

Make a difference in the lives of Dallas ISD students and their families by Giving United. Visit www.dallasisd.org/unitedway for ways to give, resources and more information.
