Program overview

What is the School Partners Program?

The School Partners Program is designed to cultivate, nurture, and sustain partnerships between DPS schools and the community. Partners provide financial and non-financial resources to DPS schools and the students they serve. Please be aware that multiple businesses can partner with a single school. All of our schools have diverse needs and multiple partners may help in fulfilling those needs.

What are the characteristics of a School Partners Program partner?

A school partner is a business or community organization that makes a philanthropic gift to a school of a financial or non-financial nature and forges an ongoing relationship with the school and its students. A school partner is NOT an individual volunteer nor is it a business that makes a one-time donation or has a commercial interest in a school.
