We rely on community support to provide factual in-depth news about education in Colorado. We need your help to ensure that our community is informed, engaged and empowered. As misinformation spreads, it’s more important than ever to support local independent media. Your support is more than a donation; it's an investment in the health and future of our democracy.

Testimonials

“Upfront and honest educational stories about local issues.”

"Chalkbeat demonstrates dedication to telling a thorough and accurate story, keeps the children in mind, remembers to include the voice of all parties, and conveys brilliant knowledge on the full education landscape.”

"Chalkbeat is my 'go-to' source for education news. As a Colorado native and a practicing middle school literacy teacher, I rely on Chalkbeat's reporting to understand the local and statewide education landscape."

“Analysis on education trends rather than surface-level reporting that most outlets have the capacity for.”

"Quality reporting in education is incredibly important — and Chalkbeat plays a key role in helping all of us understand the rapidly changing landscape in Colorado. Chalkbeat is a daily must-read."

Mission

Chalkbeat is a nonprofit news organization committed to covering one of America’s most important stories: the effort to improve schools for all children, especially those who have historically lacked access to a quality education. We are fiercely independent. We do not receive government support and do not advocate for any particular education policies.

Background Statement

2023 has been a landmark year for us at Chalkbeat Colorado. We joined a multi-newsroom collaborative to dig into why schools serving Colorado’s most vulnerable children are disappearing at a rapid clip. We fought for open records and open meetings. We expanded our outreach to Spanish-speaking parents, providing critical education information to help families support their children. We told the stories of the class of 2023 — students who were high school freshmen when their schools closed in response to COVID — in their own words.

Your contribution will not only support our ongoing efforts but also ensure that we continue to serve as a beacon of information about education in our community. Your gift, no matter the size, makes a profound impact.
