Make a financial contribution
The Denver Public Schools Foundation is the fundraising partner and fiscal agent for financial contributions to Denver Public Schools. Make an instant online donation today, or call us at 720.423.3553 to learn more about how to financially support a school.
In-kind contribution instructions and DPS technology standards
Many School Partners choose to support DPS with in-kind contributions. The DPS Office of Volunteer Services helps coordinate school and classroom needs, and maintains a wish list of specific items that schools have requested to better serve their students. Visit the DPS Office of Volunteer Services website here, where you will find resources including:
- Guidelines for donated items (including DPS technology standards for computers and other donated hardware)
- Donation forms
As always, the School Partners Program team is available to help facilitate this process for Partners. Please contact us at 720.423.3553 for details and assistance.
Volunteer background check application
Individuals who regularly volunteer in any DPS School must pass a background check. Click here to access the background check application, and contact the School Partners Program team at 720.423.3553 for details about this requirement.
