Tuesday, December 6 is Colorado Gives Day. When you make a contribution to the Denver Public Schools Foundation through the Community First Foundation website, your gift will be boosted by the FirstBank Incentive Fund. Furthermore, all credit card processing fees are covered, so 100% of your donation goes directly to work helping DPS students.
Forgetful? Busy? Not to worry! You can schedule your donation to the DPS Foundation for Colorado Gives Day NOW! You can make an unrestricted gift to the DPS Foundation, or you may designate your contribution to one of our programs.
