Durango Foundation for Educational Excellence
The Durango Foundation for Educational Excellence (DFEE) is a charitable non-profit organization with tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status.
The organization has been serving the students and teachers of the Durango School District 9-R since 1984. Though DFEE was established in order to support educational excellence specifically for the students in the Durango School District 9-R, DFEE operates independently from the district as a charitable non-profit organization.
This year DFEE provided over $100,000 in funding to support educational excellence for our local students. DFEE funded projects recently included district-wide incentive and character building programs, the rebirth of the foreign language program at the 8th grade level in both middle schools, music technology, accelerated math, science and engineering and social emotional learning.
