Each legislative session fixes for Colorado’s school funding are proposed and these solutions quickly become political and divisive. Meanwhile, our local schools struggle to provide the services and programming needed to help all students succeed. Teachers and school staff struggle to make ends meet financially as rents rise and affordable housing is hard to find.
Over the last seven years of working with our local schools, we have found that one of the best ways that we can support teachers, schools and students is by bringing awareness to the needs in our local schools and providing a way for community members to donate to these specific projects.
While we advocate for increased funding for our schools through the various county and state systems, we want to provide local funding solutions now. Together we can create thriving schools in Edgewater!
Below is a list of our current projects and ongoing school support funds. 100% of the donated funds go to the designated project.
