The Denver Public School Foundation is a “portal” for community and business philanthropy for the Denver schools. Originally started in 1984, it played a passive role in the Denver schools, until it was revitalized in 2002.

The purpose of the Denver schools’ foundation is to raise and manage funds in support of the district’s ambitious plan to improve student achievement. The Denver schools leadership develops the funding areas, and the foundation drives community investment and builds partnerships with local businesses. The price tag for improving student academic achievement is much higher than the available monies provided through annual city, state and federal funding.

During the 2005-2006 school year, the foundation’s accomplishments show it to be a vital arm of the Denver schools’ scholastic achievement initiative. Here are the major highlights:

• The foundation raised $750,000 to implement the first Principals’ Institute that was held in June 2006. Leadership training, designed to improve student achievement, was provided to 130 Denver schools’ principals, and new strategies were developed by the principals to transform their schools into effective learning organizations. The Denver schools principals will continue to be supported in their objectives in 2006-2007 by attending monthly professional development sessions that began in August.  Read more...
