Community Partnerships There is active collaboration with community organizations (By Degrees Foundation, Des Moines Menace) and a focus on philanthropy engagement (new Director of Philanthropic Engagement). This suggests opportunities for sponsorships, education programs, or partnership-driven fundraising solutions.

Philanthropy & Outreach DMPS Foundation leadership expansion indicates a priority on donor relations and communications. Sales opportunities exist for CRM, marketing automation, and donor management tools to support outreach and engagement campaigns.

Executive Leadership Recent changes in district leadership (superintendent appointment, director of communications) signal a potential opening to present strategic communications, brand-awareness services, and tailored digital marketing or stakeholder engagement solutions.

Digital & Tech A diverse tech stack (AWS, Adobe Experience Cloud, The Trade Desk, iCIMS, Shopify, Microsoft 365, Smartsheet) indicates reliance on cloud, marketing tech, and collaboration tools—opportunities exist for integration services, training, or optimization of martech and collaboration workflows.

Funding & Revenue Revenue is under one million, suggesting price-conscious procurement. Consider offering cost-effective, scalable solutions, bundled services, or pilot programs that demonstrate value with a clear ROI for K-12 education-focused initiatives.
