In 1984, the idea of substantial private non-profit fundraising for public education raised an eyebrow or two. Today -- after twenty successful years and over $2 million dollars in contributions -- the Dover Sherborn Education Fund (DSEF) has taken an untested idea and made it an enduring reality.

DSEF plays an important role in the continuing excellence of our public schools (kindergarten through grade 12) by providing extraordinary opportunities beyond the scope of tax supported budgets. The Fund seeks to enhance arts, athletics and cultural enrichment as well as core academic curriculum.

Read the list of innovative projects underwritten by DSEF for the past ten years you’ll see how your contribution can help students grow as creative thinkers and enthusiastic learners. The quality and creativity of the awards are proof that the Dover/Sherborn Education Fund is a great way for you to Fund the Future.
 

We hope you share the vision of many of your neighbors and friends who support the DSEF and will make the most significant contribution possible to help us meet this goal.
 

The strength of our towns is based on the active interest and involvement of Dover/Sherborn residents. This interest and involvement manifests itself in community support for both people and programs. The remarkable health of our schools, for instance, is maintained by the tremendous efforts of volunteers involved with the School Boards, Classroom Assistants, and organizations such as the DSEF

Educating is not passive here. Support for our schools is not passive either. Commitment is a fundamental part of what makes our schools great. It is easy and effective for our families to deliver support directly to the schools via the DSEF. Because we are an all volunteer organization, every dollar contributed is applied directly to the needs of our schools, the educators, and our children. Your support makes a BIG difference.
