Mission Statement
In 2000, Texas School for the Deaf Foundation (TSDF) was founded by a small group of dedicated individuals who wanted to enrich the programming made available to the children and families served by the Texas School for the Deaf. The goal was to augment TSD’s already excellent curriculum by providing new educational opportunities and resources that would deepen the language skills and broaden the possibilities for the deaf population of Texas. Today, TSDF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a volunteer board of directors that sets the direction for the organization and monitors financial and operational performance. Our board is a cross-section of citizens who serve as TSDF’s ambassadors to other agencies, funders, prospective donors and the general community with the goal of supporting Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) and its statewide partners in education.
About This Cause
You can make a difference today in the lives of 7,000 deaf and hard of hearing children in Texas by supporting the Texas School for the Deaf Foundation. Deaf children are born with the same innate ability for language acquisition and learning as hearing children. With early access to language and a quality education, they are able to meet their full potential so they can learn, grow, and belong. Our Mission: To strengthen and sustain language, academic achievement and career pathways for deaf students at Texas School for the Deaf (TSD) and across Texas by enhancing educational opportunities in five key funding areas: • Literacy • Outreach • Technology • STEM • Career and Technical Education (CTE) What We Do: The TSD Foundation raises funds to enhance learning opportunities and promote educational excellence for children (birth to 22 years of age) who are served by TSD, as well as provide educational resources to their families. Funds raised help bridge the gap between monies allocated biennially to TSD by the Texas legislature, and what is actually needed to provide such excellence in education.
