About DEER PARK EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION (operating as Deer Park Education Foundation)
The Deer Park Educational Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1991 to support Deer Park Independent School District (DPISD) by funding teacher enrichment grants, literacy initiatives and district-wide student programs that supplement state and district budgets. The Foundation runs annual fundraising and community-engagement programs — including the Strides for Schools Fun Run, a bookmark art contest and the DPISD Book Bus summer reading outreach — and continues to award Teacher Enrichment Grants that directly underwrite classroom innovations. In the most recent publicly available fiscal year (fiscal year ending July 2024) the Foundation reported approximately $311,000 in revenue, about $317,000 in expenses and total assets near $739,000, reflecting ongoing fundraising and grantmaking activity.
