Head of Fundraising

Company Description

The BOGAN Foundation supports children who think, learn, and experience the world differently, including youth with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and other learning differences. Through literacy support, school advocacy, and hands-on STEM experiences, the organization helps young people strengthen reading skills, understand how they learn best, and build confidence in their abilities. BOGAN also assists families as they navigate IEPs, 504 plans, school meetings, and community resources, making the process clearer and more supportive. Guided by the belief that learning differently does not mean a child is broken, the foundation creates encouraging spaces where children feel understood and families feel supported. BOGAN partners with schools, community organizations, businesses, faith groups, and local leaders to expand opportunities for children and families across the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond.
