OUR PROCESS
How it Works
The Fund for Fort Defiance is powered by The Endowment Project Foundation (TEPF), an independent 501c3. TEPF collaborates directly with individual schools, principals, teachers, alumni, and students to support education initiatives. By operating independently of existing public school funding channels, TEPF provides donors with a choice. TEPF ensures that donations directly benefit the school and provide an independent voice for the alumni community and other supporters of the Fund for Fort Defiance. Your support enhances experiences and outcomes specifically for Fort Defiance High School students and teachers. Here is how it works and why you can feel confident that your support achieves real impact.
