Dripping Springs Education Foundation

Founded in 1992, the Dripping Springs Education Foundation raises private-sector funds to support academic excellence at every school in our district. Through our mission we strive to bridge the funding gap between the District's state-allocated budget and the actual budget required to provide the high-performance education we have come to expect from DSISD. The Foundation raises funds through the annual Bridge Builders Capital Campaign, Schoolhouse Scramble Golf Tournament and Denim &  Diamonds Gala.  Funding is distributed annually through three DSEF grant programs.  Innovative Teacher Grants fund teacher-generated ideas that do not have an obvious funding source through the District. Student Leadership Grants fund projects that are designed by students with the support of a mentor teacher. The DSISD Grant helps fund programs that prepare our children for the demands of a modern world, such as the District's 21st Century Learning Initiatives.
