Groundwork DFW Wins D CEO‘s 2023 Nonprofit & Corporate Citizenship Innovation in Education (Micro and Small) Award

Written By Treasure W.

Winner: Groundwork DFW

By applying the high-tech data and innovations of political campaigns, Groundwork DFW has been able to reach Dallas families in a way that the city has historically struggled to do—and as a result, impact historically unsolvable social issues. In the pilot year of its Grassroots Pre-K Enrollment Campaign, Groundwork DFW identified why pre-k enrollment was so low in different neighborhoods. Its outreach saw a tangible impact: a 19 percent increase in Pre-K applications and a 9 percent increase in enrollment. It has since partnered with local ISDs to implement new tactics to close the 5,000 pre-k student enrollment gap in Dallas County.

Finalists: Austen’s Autistic Adventures; Foundation for C.H.O.I.C.E; Noggin Educational Foundation
