Duniway's Annual Fall Giving Campaign is one of the Duniway Foundation's two main fundraisers to fund teaching positions at Duniway. Thank you to all who donated to this year's campaign! It's not too late-- although the campaign has officially ended, we will gladly accept donations anytime.
The Duniway Foundation’s Annual Giving Campaign is one of the primary ways that we raise money for Duniway teaching and assistant positions not funded by Portland Public Schools and for other educational programs.
I was able to use the money raised last year by the Foundation to fund salaries for Educational Assistants (EAs) at every grade level, providing critical support for teachers and students. A portion of funds raised also allowed me to extend our student-facing support personnel to cover the entire school day.
The Annual Giving Campaign helps keep Duniway’s student-teacher ratios low, making a direct impact on the quality of education for your kids. I encourage every family to donate what they are able to this year. These funds will be essential to continue to provide the best support for your kids.
The money raised last year by the Foundation is now funding salaries for four part-time Educational Assistants, serving all grade levels. EAs provide critical support for our teachers including facilitating small group sessions and reviewing student assignments.
Approximately one-third (32%) of funds raised go to the Fund for PPS to provide equity in funding for district schools that do not have the benefit of a foundation such as ours. Your contribution not only supports Duniway-- it also promotes equity across our district.
Please donate online, or bring a check made out to Duniway Foundation to the school office. Online donation allows us to reach a much wider audience than in prior years and we encourage you to forward this to other family members, friends, or business leaders.
We encourage you to give what you are able. Across our school community, some families are able to donate more, some less. In past years, donations have ranged from $25 to $5000.
We would like every family to participate during the campaign. You do not have to donate to participate! If you are not able to donate this year, submit the Participate form to log your support for the Foundation. The one classroom with the most participation will receive a popsicle party!
Any contribution, at whatever level possible, makes a difference in the quality of your child’s education. Direct donations and corporate matching combined help the school hire essential staff members to support our teachers and students!
