Poudre School District (PSD) serves over 28,000 children in Northern Colorado with the mission to "Educate every child, every day." In order to accomplish this mission, PSD and the Poudre School District Foundation work collaboratively to create opportunities for all children to succeed in the classroom and beyond. While school budgets enable teachers to accomplish their day-to-day activities, Foundation grants and support enable educators to easily pilot and implement innovative new programs, techniques and resources to reach every student.
Since its inception in 2000, Poudre School District Foundation has provided over $2.5M in grants, scholarships, district program funding, and compassion fund assistance to PSD students experiencing significant barriers to education. Donors like you, make this support possible. We rely on individual donors to help fund a majority of the program assistance we offer. Your gift will have a direct impact on students and teachers right here in our community.

Through our educator grant program and district initiative support we have provided opportunities for PSD students to go above and beyond typical classroom experiences.

Each year, Ignite Classroom Grants, PSDF support of District initiatives, and the Compassion Fund ensure students have opportunities for academic success, for learning about our changing world, for exploring possibilities, for connecting them with their school and local community and removing barriers to education. It is our goal and priority to help fill critical funding gaps in our floor-funded District.
