Congratulations to our 2026 Scholars, Outstanding Staff Recipients, and Classroom Grant Recipients!
Payroll Deduction
DEF’s funding comes from fundraising, individual and business donors, grants from foundations, investment income, cause marketing partnerships & 9-R staff payroll deductions. 30-35% of 9-R employees participate, accounting for 10% of our annual budget. Goal: to increase to over 50% participation!!
By giving as little as $5 through Payroll Deduction, you impact the educational experience of the entire 9-R community. Payroll Deduction allows you to "spread" your gift out over the course of a year so it is automatic and easier on cash flow. You can make meaningful changes with very little effort. The process is very simple - click the button below to access the Payroll Deduction form and return it to DEF!
