Help us raise $10,000 for students with a dollar-for-dollar matching fund!

Did you know that North Texas Giving Day is a few days away?

Every gift counts, and with our $5,000 matching gift in place, your support goes twice as far! We're focusing on expanded Mental Health Services, Family Engagement, and Post-secondary Success to create brighter futures for the students we serve.

Family engagement in schools contributes to positive student outcomes, including improved student achievement, decreased disciplinary issues, and an improved school environment.

Post-secondary success focuses on helping students graduate with a plan in place for continuing education or having a marketable skill or knowledge to empower them to improve their lives, the lives of their families, and their communities.

To support the growing need for mental health services, CIS Dallas provides no-cost mental health and well-being services to Pre-K—12th grade students throughout North Texas, through 1:1 counseling and group-based services that occur on school campuses, during the school day.
