Grants are open to any teacher, staff member or administrator in Durango School District (DSD). They are also open to other non-profit organizations with programs that serve the students in DSD. Grants are intended to assist educators in equitably serving students of all ages, abilities, and academic interest areas.
 

When reading grant applications, we consider impact, equity, faculty and district input, related educational research, collaboration, donor preference, and alignment with the DSD Strategic Plan as well as D.E.F.'s mission. 
 

Please review the criteria and information for each type of grant, then reach out to Wendy Allsbrook Javier at 9rfoundation@gmail.com or 970-769-7600 with your grant idea.  Wendy will provide guidance on whether or not your grant idea is a good fit for DEF. We look forward to hearing from you!
