Colorado Gives Day 2022

Put Students First.

Make your Colorado Gives Day donation today. Donations made on or before Dec. 6, 2022 will be boosted in two ways!

As an early childhood center we are some of our families’ first experience with school so we take it upon ourselves to lay a strong foundation. We know it is important to ensure that both teachers and students have what they need in order to be successful from the start.

Thanks to DPS Foundation for all of their support! We are extremely grateful!

– Marta Ródenas, Principal, Escalante-Biggs Academy

From the first day of school to graduation day,

DPS Foundation puts students first

Colorado Gives Day, held on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, is a statewide movement to celebrate and increase philanthropy across Colorado.

Colorado Gives Day gifts like yours fund classroom innovation, equity initiatives, whole child programs, and so much more. This year, the impact of your gift will be boosted in two ways!

Thanks to the generous support from Jeanne & Dick Saunders and Delta Dental of Colorado, gifts made to the DPS Foundation for Colorado Gives Day will be MATCHED up to $40,000!

And, gifts made on or before Colorado Gives Day go even further thanks to Community First Foundation who will give a proportional boost to every donation through the $1.4 Million Incentive Fund.
