Yes. Dublin Education Alliance—known as The Alliance—is officially recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit, allowing it to accept tax-deductible donations.  Tax ID: 99-2808867

The Alliance supports the Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) by funding essential programs and services such as instructional interventions, campus safety measures, STEM enrichment, and other critical student resources. The Alliance actively seeks feedback from families and schools to understand where funding is needed most.

The Alliance uses a comprehensive, multifaceted fundraising strategy modeled on best practices from neighboring education foundations. The Alliance engages the local community, secures corporate sponsorships, applies for grants, and pursues government funding opportunities to meet district needs and maximize impact. The Alliance also plans to host community fundraising events in the future to further strengthen local involvement. 

Through these combined efforts, the Alliance is committed to providing sustainable funding for programs that benefit every Dublin student.

The Alliance Board is made up of volunteer community leaders and parents, who work closely with DUSD staff, principals, and the broader community to identify the district’s most pressing needs. Fundraising goals and the use of funds are shared transparently to ensure alignment with student priorities.

The Alliance focuses on district-wide initiatives that serve all Dublin students, such as STEM programs, campus safety improvements, and supplemental staff funding. Parent Faculty Clubs (PFCs), Parent Faculty and Student Organizations (PFSOs), and Booster Clubs concentrate on the unique needs of individual schools, supporting enrichment activities, extracurriculars, and campus events. 

These groups play complementary roles: PFCs, PFSOs, and Boosters address site-specific priorities, while the Alliance tackles broader, long-term needs across the entire district.

Supporting students is a community effort.
