Email Erin at eshelby@dpsfoundation.org with questions. 

The Denver Public Schools Foundation helps ensure investments in our schools are directed in the most effective, impactful and lasting way. Public funds simply are insufficient to provide the equitable education that every child deserves. That’s why, leveraging our unique access to the district and our ability to fund students across Denver at scale, we serve as the trusted partner to mobilize our community to support DPS students, educators, and families. 

The more than 86,000 students in DPS are our future leaders, innovators, contributors and change-makers. With your help, we can ensure they have the education they deserve. When we make their success a shared imperative, we create unity for families, schools and educators to know that we are in this together. Join us.
