You know the power of early learning.

Because of the generosity of our community, many of Jeffco’s youngest learners are already thriving. But this year, the demand for Pre-K resources has surpassed our current funding capacity.

We’re in the final push to reach our $100,000 Educator Grant goal, and more than 100 Jeffco teachers have ready-to-launch projects waiting for support. These projects directly strengthen early learning, social-emotional development, and classroom engagement.

$500 can fund a new sensory exploration station for a class of four-year-olds.

$250 can provide imaginative play materials that help preschoolers build creativity, confidence, and social skills.

Your support moves these projects from “pending” to fully funded—ensuring students get the hands-on learning experiences they deserve.

If you’re able, please consider making a gift today to help our youngest learners thrive. 💛📚

The first weeks of school should be an exciting time, but for many Jeffco students, it’s a struggle just to show up with the basics they need to learn.

➡️ Did you know 1 in 3 Jeffco Public Schools - Colorado students come from a low-income household? With current funding uncertainties, it’s becoming even harder for teachers and schools to provide essential items like supplies, warm clothing, and snacks.

That’s where the Jeffco Schools Foundation - and generous supporters like you - step in.

Your gift today ensures students have what they need to focus on learning, not worrying.
✅ $25 = snacks for a classroom
✅ $50 = art supplies for a student
✅ $100 - classroom essentials
✅ $250 = transportation for students to access critical programs

This school year, thousands of students are counting on us. Together, we can make sure every Jeffco student has the chance to thrive.

Welcome Back, Jeffco!

On August 15, the Jeffco Schools Foundation Board gathered for our annual retreat: a time to reflect, reimagine, and recommit to our vision that every Jeffco student thrives.

Hosted at Green Mountain High School's 'Career Hub' - proudly funded and supported by the Foundation - our board spent the afternoon building connections and sparking new, innovative ideas to better support students, educators, and families across the district.

With a new school year on the horizon and inspirational words from Jeffco Public Schools - Colorado's Superintendent and Board Member, Tracy Dorland, our team are filled with excitement for the impactful work ahead. Together with our community, educators, and partners, we’re building opportunities that lift up students and strengthen Jeffco schools.

Here’s to a year of growth, connection, and success for every student, every classroom, and every school in Jeffco! 💙💚
