Founded in 2018, the Durham Public Schools Foundation ( DPS Foundation ) was born from a shared vision among community, education, and private sector leaders: to create a dedicated nonprofit that could raise funds, build community support, and advocate for Durham Public Schools (DPS). Since its inception, DPS Foundation has worked hand-in-hand with students, families, and educators to ensure every student has the opportunity to thrive.

DPS Foundation’s mission is “to catalyze big ideas and foster community engagement that will transform DPS to ensure success and equity for every student.” Interim Executive Director Brianna Kennedy describes it simply: “We aim to build an anchor of support for all of our students.”

Shortly after joining Digital Durham as a volunteer in July of 2022, Sanji Datar accepted a position on their Board. After two years as a Board member, her talents, dedication, and actions made a significant impact in a variety of areas. Her generosity and organizational skills ensured the success of Digital Durham’s participation in a silent auction. When the Development Committee asked for volunteers, Sanji offered to serve as co-chair and became chair soon after. She spearheaded transformative initiatives within Development including a workgroup where she identified the requirements for a customer resource management system, posted the RFP for vendors, and set up a pilot of the system. Sanji’s dedication, leadership, and tireless efforts have left an indelible mark on Digital Durham and Durham’s digital inclusion ecosystem.

In 1984, Frankie DuBose was serving on the community advisory board for the Duke Cancer Institute (Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center) when she heard something that would change her life—and the lives of thousands of patients to come. A social worker shared a simple but urgent need: cancer patients traveling long distances for treatment often had nowhere affordable to stay.

Frankie couldn’t forget those words. Together with her husband Pete and five other women, she formed a committee with a bold mission: build a home where patients and their caregivers could rest, heal, and feel supported. Through determination, community fundraising, and a shared vision, Caring House opened its doors in 1992—a haven of comfort and compassion.

Over the past few years, Mr. Garman Troup has worked with Granville County Senior Services to lead its ramp building program. Garman handles most of the planning and prep work by himself. This includes meeting with the client, creating a materials list, receiving material deliveries at the home, pre-cutting pieces for assembly, and recruiting a volunteer construction crew. On the build date, volunteers arrive at the home and assemble the ramp. In 2024, Garman and his “crew” built 21 ramps. In addition to ramp construction, he carries a weekly route for Senior Services’ home delivered meal program. In the summer, Garman shares fresh fruit and vegetables grown in his home garden with the seniors. His calm and friendly manner has brought many smiles to homebound seniors.
