Our mission is to provide opportunities for private financial support of unique, challenging, innovative projects and programs which will enhance educational excellence and empower students to succeed in the Dickinson Public Schools.

Description:
Our main focus is our grant program. We have awarded over $147,000 in grants to enhance education. We sponsor several activities during the year to raise money for our grant program such as a breakfast, Dickinson High School Open House, Mystery Dinner Theater and plan to hold an Alumni Basketball game in the future. We need help with our Annual Giving Program mailing which we mail out in early November each year. This is one of our big fundraisers.

History:
The Foundation was formed in 1989 and has been growing every year. We now employ a part time employee who works 10 hours per week. We help provide funding for unique projects that enhance education that can't be funded through the school district budget. Building alumni relations is another area that we sponsor activities.
