Westminster Public Schools Foundation

A nonprofit organization


YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE A STUDENT’S FUTURE

Your donation is more than just a gift. It’s a chance to create opportunity, spark potential, and change the course of a student's life forever. At a time when schools face increasing demands with fewer resources, your contribution becomes the lifeline that opens doors for students who need it most.

By supporting Westminster Public Schools' students, you’re helping close the opportunity gaps that often stand in the way of student success. Your generosity ensures that a talented student gets the scholarship they need to pursue their dreams, that a family in crisis finds support through the Benevolent Fund, and that the arts—an often underfunded but crucial element of a well-rounded education—flourish in our schools.

Every dollar you give goes to programs that directly impact students, giving them the tools and resources they need to succeed. Whether it's providing scholarships through our Post-Secondary Success Initiative, fostering creativity in the Performing Arts, or supporting key District Initiatives, your donation is making a difference where it matters most: in the lives of students.

Why Now? The needs in our community are growing. Schools across the nation are expected to do more with less, and Colorado ranks 36th in the country for per-pupil spending. Yet, your gift provides a beacon of hope, ensuring that Westminster Public Schools can continue to innovate and meet the diverse needs of every student.

When you donate today, you’re not just contributing to a cause—you’re investing in a future where every student has a chance to thrive.

 

What Your Gift Does

  • Open Doors to Higher Education: Help provide scholarships for students who are the first in their families to attend college.
  • Support Students in Crisis: Provide emergency assistance through our Benevolent Fund.
  • Keep the Arts Alive: Ensure students have access to robust performing arts programs that foster creativity and self-expression.
  • Empower District Initiatives: Fund critical projects that enhance learning opportunities for all students in the district.

Together, you can allow every student to succeed. Your donation will make a lasting impact—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
