Aurora Public Schools Foundation

The Aurora Public Schools Foundation advances private, non-profit, public and philanthropic partnerships to develop and leverage resources for projects and programs that drive innovation and excellence for more than 38,000 students, 5,000 teachers and staff, and 63 schools.

We are thrilled to have your support for Colorado Gives Day! Every $5 donation can be turned into $428 in scholarships for a student, an investment of $100 can be turned into a full backpack of school supplies for a teacher to support their classroom, and an investment of any amount will directly impact our students who represent over 130 countries and speak over 160 languages!

Your support helps to fund programs that drive innovation and excellence for the students of Aurora Public Schools. Programs such as the College and Career Centers, STEM learning, and the Educator Emporium. 

1. Our College and Career Centers help students navigate their future. Including college visits, career opportunities, internships, externships, financial aid nights, college fairs, military fairs, college applications, scholarship essay writing, and more. Since 2014, these centers have helped students to obtain over $139 million in scholarships!
2.  The APS Foundation supports many STEM initiatives, such as: skateboard build days for 75+ middle school students, funding for robotics clubs, the Aurora Science and Tech STEM middle and high school, and more!
3. In 2021 we launched the Educator Emporium to provide free, brand-new, school supplies to all APS educators. Since the Emporium’s opening, over 650 educators from all 53 APS schools have been able to gather supplies for their classrooms and students!

This Colorado Gives Day we have a generous $15,000 matching gift from Academy Roofing. That means every donation, up to $15,000, will be doubled, dollar for dollar!
