Book vending machines can make some Dallas ISD students better readers.
● Middle-income homes have an average of 13 books per child while low-income homes have an average of one age-appropriate book for every 300 children.
The Dallas Education Foundation serves as the direct, nonprofit philanthropic partner of Dallas ISD, whereare economically challenged. The foundation has a singular mission: to accelerate student success. We know the resource limitations a majority of our families face, and we know many of our students have little to no access to reading materials at home.
Empowering children to develop the agency to select a book and allowing them the opportunity to create their own home library generate endless opportunities. When books enter and stay in the home, the whole family wins. Parents are engaged and other children in the home and community benefit as books become an integral part of their lives.
The needs are great, and so is the opportunity for impact. A $10,000 donation results in books being dispensed on a campus for years and possibly decades. We ask you to be a partner and come along with us on our journey to advance literacy in Dallas ISD.To learn more about the Dallas Education Foundation and help advance literacy by sponsoring a book vending machine, please visit
