Margaret H. Cone Head Start Center
With the help of our funding and involvement, the Margaret H. Cone
Model Head Start Center is beginning to paint a brighter future
for the children in one of Dallas' poorest neighborhoods. Since
1990, the Foundation has collaborated with universities and local
Head Start administrators to develop a model preschool program at
the Cone Center -- one which gives about 90 economically disadvantaged
students with the services they need to succeed in school and beyond,
such as quality nutrition, health care, social services and education,
including a rich multi-sensory language curriculum.

 Jerry
R. Junkins Child Development Center
In 1995, the Foundation initiated a collaboration with two other foundations
to launch the Jerry R. Junkins Child Development Center in a predominantly
Hispanic neighborhood of West Dallas. Modeled after the Cone Center
program, the Junkins Center opened in 1997 and serves more than 153
children annually - providing a multi-sensory dual language curriculum,
health, nutrition and social services. |

 Davids'
Place
The newest addition to the Foundation's family of Head Start Centers
is Davids' Place. The early childhood center will serve a minority
population in the Fair Park area of Dallas. This is a major effort
to bring innovative curricula to a new segment of the Dallas population.
This is one part of a neighborhood revitalization effort. |
 The
TI Founders IMAX Theater
In 1993, The Science Place in Dallas had a vision to become a science
center for the 21st century. By providing a leading gift and forming
a team to work with The Science Place staff, the Foundation furthered
the realization of the TI Founders IMAX Theater. The funding also
helped to create expanded exhibit facilities, the "Hall of Science"
atrium and visitor service facility, and enhanced educational programming. |
 The
Dallas Symphony
A grant to the Dallas Symphony is providing five years of transportation
for inner city students to hear the symphony and experience the wonders
of the Meyerson Symphony Center. This program reaches more than 35,000
students each year. |
 The
Dallas Museum of Art
One-half of the Foundation's grant to the Dallas Museum of Art helped
to fund the Educational Endowment Fund, which encourages children
to express their views through art. This program impacts more than
135,000 children a year. |
