YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE A STUDENT’S FUTURE

You are a catalyst for dreams. You are the key that unlocks opportunity, ignites potential, and changes the trajectory of a student's life forever. 

When you open your heart to Westminster Public Schools' students, you are offering something extraordinary: a lifeline to the students who need it most, in a time when schools are asked to do more with less. You are stepping in when it matters most, and that’s powerful. 

Your kindness closes the gap. You become the bridge that ensures every student, no matter their circumstances, gets the chance to thrive. You are the reason a talented student secures a scholarship to pursue their dreams. You are the comfort a student feels when they can finally see the whiteboard in class because they have a new pair of glasses. You are the reason the arts—often underfunded but essential to a well-rounded education—continue to flourish in our schools. 

You are fostering potential. You are equipping students with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. Whether it’s supporting scholarships through the Post-Secondary Success Initiative, fostering creativity in the Performing Arts, or championing critical District Initiatives, you are making a lasting difference where it matters most—in the lives of students. 

Why Now? The needs in our community are greater than ever. Schools across the nation are struggling with fewer resources, and in Colorado, we rank 40th in the country for per-pupil funding. But in the face of this challenge, you can be the light that changes everything. Your gift ensures that Westminster Public Schools can continue to innovate, adapt, and meet the diverse needs of every student. 

When you give today, you’re not just contributing—you’re becoming a part of their story. You’re fueling a future filled with possibility, where every student has the chance to rise above obstacles and thrive. 

Open your heart. Take the step that will change a life. With your help, the extraordinary becomes possible—and you make it happen. 

 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 the 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.

You are helping every student succeed. You will make a lasting impact today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

Background Statement

The Westminster Public Schools Foundation was established in 1988 by dedicated business and community leaders to enhance educational opportunities for Westminster Public Schools. Due to ongoing budget cuts, external fundraising remains essential.

-Enhancing educational opportunities

-Supporting innovative efforts by staff

-Mobilizing community support

-Building awareness of the Foundation’s mission

-Inspiring local involvement to enrich education

In 2020, the Foundation adopted an Equity Statement, emphasizing a commitment to inclusion and ensuring all students are valued and supported. We aim to diversify leadership, offer high-quality professional development, and fund projects that advance equity within our community.
