About Us
spotlight: Annual fund drive
The 2019-2020 Annual Fund Drive is our most important fundraiser of the year! As one of the lowest funded unified school districts in California, we need your support to fund critical programs for all students. Without your donations, these programs will not continue. Click the DONATE button or look for the Annual Fund Drive email on August 1st.
MATCHING FUNDS
Don't forget to check if your employer has a matching funds program! Your donation could be doubled! Last year, we made more than $18,000 in matching funds. Contact mfdesef@gmail.com for help or more information.
Where Your Money Goes
Total: $163,272.51
What is DESEF?
The Disney Elementary School Education Foundation (DESEF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit fundraising organization that is run by parent volunteers. DESEF is the primary fundraising organization at Walt Disney Elementary School. State funding for public schools in California is among the lowest in the nation. Our goal is to "fill the funding gaps" so that all students in TK-5 grades benefit from an enriched academic experience at Walt Disney. Without the generous donations from families and businesses, many programs and staff positions would cease to exist at our school.
Mission Statement
DESEF's purpose is to enrich the academic, artistic, social, and athletic education of the children at Walt Disney. We raise funds to pay for school programs, personnel, equipment, and services that are not funded through the school district. Please view the DESEF Funding Table 2019-20 for a list of programs and services that DESEF will support this school year at Walt Disney.
Volunteer
DESEF needs you! There are countless opportunities to get involved, including board member positions, event chairs, and committee members. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact DESEF President Lauren Shimek at desedfoundation@comcast.net.
