The operating expenses of the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy (DPEA) consist of two parts: 1) maintenance, upgrades and consumables for the teaching labs and shops, and 2) participation in the FIRST Robotics competition during the senior year. In order to provide this valuable educational experience to our students, we have found sources of funding from the community and DPEA parents. This financial support pays for the annual operating expenses of the DPEA and for minor capital improvement to the existing facilities. Our Corporate Partners play an important role in our educational mission, and pay much of the costs of the Robotics program. Parents of seniors make donations for travel expenses to the regional and national competitions.

The goal of the Sustaining Fund is to generate a stable source of income for these expenses. There are three types of donations to the Sustaining Fund:

• Corporate Partnerships
• Scholarships for travel to Robotics competitions
• Multi-year commitments for operating expenses
