Denver Public Schools Foundation

The DPS Foundation is a catalyst for change in Denver Public Schools. 

Our city and our communities are strengthened by each student who graduates ready to lead a successful life. Our goal is to help every student, in every school, have the tools and resources to reach their highest potential. 

As the strategic fundraising partner for DPS, we work together to identify and raise funds for the highest impact investments. We help to accelerate progress and we support the most meaningful ways to empower teachers, students and families and fuel engaged learning. 

We help change happen faster and funds go further so our students and our city thrive.

We are the only foundation that exclusively raises funds for Denver Public Schools.

We invest strategically in proven and innovative programs to help every student have the resources and opportunities to succeed.

We invest in accelerating progress. We make strategic investments in proven and promising programs that spur growth for our students and schools.

We inspire confidence in the promise of public education. We celebrate our students’ triumphs, and demonstrate what’s possible when our students, teachers and schools have access to greater opportunities.
