O’Donnell Foundation makes $50 million investment in North Texas Education

Written by DFW501cReporter

The Commit Partnership and Dallas College are excited to announce today that the O’Donnell Foundation has made a second transformative $50 million investment in North Texas education, including a $20 million gift to Dallas College Foundation!

“The O’Donnell Foundation’s generosity allows us to launch the Dallas County Promise Transfer Success Fund—an unprecedented endowment that will ease the financial burden for thousands of students as they continue their education,” said Dallas College Foundation Executive Director Josh Skolnick. “This is about more than financial aid; it’s about creating a connected, coherent set of supports that give students the confidence and resources to transfer, thrive and earn a four-year degree.”

With this investment, Dallas County Promise students will gain greater financial support, tailored advising, and long-term pathways to success—strengthening the region’s workforce and economy for years to come. We’re grateful to the O’Donnell Foundation for their incredible commitment to Dallas County students, and excited to be a part of the thousands of bright futures it will enable.
