A Vision for the Future
To create a perpetual source of funds, the Educational Foundation Board of Directors has established a financial relationship with the Dallas Foundation. The initial investment of $180,000 was made this year. These funds accrue interest, generating financial support for programs. The Foundation's goal is to reach $1 million by the year 2010. The endowment will fund enhanced education opportunities through the use of teacher and student scholarships as well as grants for teachers, students and campuses for Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD for years to come. With regular deposits, as of August 2004, the fund exceeds $230,000.
