The Partnership

There are two ways you can partner with Cristo Rey Dallas to provide education, opportunity and
advancement to deserving students. 

#1 Sponsor-a-Student Program

The Sponsor-a-Student Program supports Cristo Rey Dallas families by connecting donors to the heart of our mission: the students themselves. Your commitment will provide the gift of education through direct tuition assistance for one freshman student – who you can follow throughout their four years – or multiple students if interested. Your support
creates a direct impact on the lives of CRD students and their families.

Student Connection 

By committing to CRD’s Sponsor-a-Student Program you will be matched with your student, or students, at the beginning of each school year. You will then have various opportunities to connect with your student during the year.

Benefits include:

• Student Profile Allowing You to Learn More about Your Student
• Semester Updates About Your Student
• Exclusive School Events with Your Student
• Annual Appreciation Breakfast with All Sponsors and Students
• (The Sponsor-A-Student Program is also available in an anonymous capacity)

Levels of Support

$6,500 | One Student per one academic year

$26,000 | One Student for four academic years

#2 The Sponsor-a-Job Program  –  Funding a Real Work Experience

The Sponsor-a-Job Program offers a unique chance to support students as well as the diverse nonprofits across Dallas where they make meaningful contributions. Operating under the Cristo Rey model, CRD places 75% of students in paid positions and 25% in nonprofit roles. Although many nonprofits struggle to pay for student workers, they deeply value the assistance these students provide. By contributing to this program, you not only help our students gain valuable experience but also strengthen the essential work of numerous local nonprofits. Your support extends beyond the immediate, creating a ripple effect of positive impact throughout our community.

By committing to CRD’s Sponsor-a-Job Program, you ensure the placement of one (or more) students in nonprofit roles for the entire school year. Your donation is fully tax-deductible, and in addition to supporting our students, you’ll receive regular updates featuring stories from their workplace experiences. You’ll also have the chance to visit and observe the students in action at their job program placements.
