For 25 years, the Educational Foundation of Dexter has been an invaluable resource for your favorite dedicated teacher to obtain funding for enhanced learning opportunities. In just the past three years, we've awarded over $135,000.00 touching students in each and every school. If your child has enjoyed any of the programs listed below during his or her academic career, you've experienced EFD funding at work. Your donation will provide seed money for additional grants and new internship and scholarship programs the EFD is developing. What better way to honor a special teacher, principal, bus driver or DCS retiree?
