Founding Donor Opportunities

All Founding Donors ($100,000 and above) will be recognized on the Founding Donor Wall in the DPEA conference room and will be invited to a special event each Fall as well as the annual May Gala celebrating the DPEA graduating class and the completion of the FIRST Robotics Season. The specific naming opportunities (which must receive final approval by the Board of Education) are:

Naming the Building: The building will be named after the Donor who contributes $1,500,000, with their name prominently displayed on the building façade. In addition, the Donor will be recognized with a 2x6 foot plaque on the Founding Donor Wall (denoted A on the drawing below).

Naming the Machine Shop: The key space is the machine shop, which will be named after the donor who contributes $500,000. Plaques will be placed at every exterior entrance to the shop. In addition, the donor will be recognized with a 1x3 foot plaque on the Founding Donor Wall (denoted B).

Naming the Classrooms: There are five additional rooms (see attached drawing) that will be named for $250,000 each. Donor recognition plaques will be placed at the exterior entrances and the donors will be recognized with a 1x3 foot plaque on the Founding Donor Wall (denoted B).

Naming the Major Machines: There will be large machines in the machine shop, each of which will be named for $100,000, placing a plaque on the machine itself. In addition, the donor will be recognized with a 9x27 inch plaque on the Founding Donor Wall (denoted C).

Patron Opportunities

All Patrons ($5,000-$99,999) will be recognized on the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy Patron Wall.

Those giving $5,000-$24,999 will have a 4x12 inch panel (denoted F below), that we call The Brick! DPEA parents, families and friends can actively engage in fundraising for Bricks by encouraging others to join in the cause. For example, start a Brick by making a contribution and encouraging your co-workers to contribute enough to reach $5,000, thereby placing a Brick that says Employees of... or Faculty of the ... Department. You can also recognize someone who made a difference, In Honor of Jane and John Doe, or honor a group, In Honor of the 2007 Team 1717.

Those giving $25,000-$49,999 will be invited to the annual May Gala and be recognized with a 6x18 inch plaque (denoted E) on the Patron Wall.

Those giving $50,000-99,999 will be invited to the annual May Gala and will be offered the opportunity to name a machine in the prototype room, where the donor will have a plaque on the machine. In addition, they will receive a 6x18 inch plaque (denoted D) on the Patron Wall.
