The David Douglas Educational Foundation (DDEF) is a non-profit community organization founded in 1991 dedicated to supporting educational excellence for all children in the David Douglas School District.
Since 1991, we have presented over $421,000 in grants for innovative educational ideas and opportunities and $78,000 in scholarships for graduating seniors. We have held 20 dinner/auctions, with over $350,000 in profits, seven chili challenges, wine tours, product sales and pledge campaigns. We have earned the honor of managing gift endowments as well as being remembered in living trusts/wills.
We continue to be supportive of each other and our work to benefit all children in our district. Join us and be part of making a difference in the David Douglas community.

The Foundation board and committees are comprised of volunteers. It is important to increase our volunteer ranks with new members, which will support the continuation of this worthwhile non-profit entity.

The DDEF Grant Program was developed to support excellence in the David Douglas School District. By acquiring and distributing resources, the Foundation enhances and supplements programs that provide an opportunity for teachers to pilot new and innovative projects, thus allowing additional educational opportunities for David Douglas students.
Each year the David Douglas Educational Foundation makes available scholarships for four selected graduating seniors. These scholarships are funded by an endowment set up by the Foundation to ensure they are available to high school seniors each year.
