Every dollar we raise is critical to bridge gaps!

Funds raised in the 2023-24 school year allowed former Principal Rafferty to fund two Educational Assistant positions in 2024-2025, filled by our amazing EA's serving all grade levels. Funds raised also kept music programming full time, and closed the funding gap to keep a full-time office assistant. Your donations make a huge impact at Duniway!

For the 2024-25 school year, we are asking the Duniway community to participate in two key Foundation fundraising events:
(1) The Annual Fall Giving Campaign; and
(2) The Spring Duniway Auction.
a note about equity
The Duniway Foundation Board is looking forward to collaborating with the broader Portland Public School community as we work together to create district-wide funding strategies and goals over the course of this year. In addition to the Fall Giving Campaign and the Duniway Auction, we encourage parents to also consider donating to the district-wide Fund for PPS here. While we recognize the importance of local giving and local community engagement, we ultimately believe that the best way to equitably fund schools is for the legislature to fully fund ALL Oregon schools. We plan to continue gathering information to determine our plan for this year and beyond, including meeting with district and school leaders to coordinate our planning, as well as advocating for full funding from the state legislature. Your voice in this conversation is important; please let us know your thoughts by contacting us at admin@duniwayfoundation.org.
