join us on december 9 for co gives day 2025!

Join us this Colorado Gives Season and help raise $55,000 for Jeffco Educator Grants this Colorado Gives Season!
Every day, teachers spark curiosity in their students. But they often have incredible ideas that they just can't afford to bring to life. Last year, the Jeffco Schools Foundation was able to award 88 educator grants across Jeffco. This year we want to enable over 100 Jeffco educators to bring an opportunity to their students that otherwise wouldn't have been possible.

This is where you come in.

Donate between November 1 and December 9, to boost your gift through the Colorado Gives incentive fund! All new recurring gifts will be also be matched AGAIN!!

Funding educator grants isn't just about giving money; it's about giving teachers the resources they need to turn their visions into a student's reality. When you fund an educator grant, you're not just supporting a project. You're making a tangible difference in a student's educational experience, transforming passive learning into active discovery.

Because a great idea, when given the chance to flourish, can change everything.
