Friends of Solar Prep is a volunteer 501(c)3 nonprofit organization led by a board of parents and community leaders who work to ensure every Solar Prep student has equal access to educational opportunities to realize their full potential. We support the Solar Preparatory Schools, two challenging and inclusive schools, through fundraising for student and educator enrichment.
The main charge of Friends of Solar Prep is to help bridge funding gaps between what the school district's funding provides and what is needed on our Solar campuses for higher academic achievement. Since 2016, we've raised more than $1,000,000 from grants, corporations and generous individuals. We're proud to build and support two campuses in an innovative model that brings together Dallas scholars from all parts of the community and across socio-economic backgrounds.
