Summary
Support our schools on Colorado Gives Day!
Westerra Credit Union has generously stepped up to match donations made to the Foundation on Colorado Gives Day, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000. 100% of donations will go directly back to schools through Foundation's Opportunity Grants program.
Grants are awarded through a competitive process and priority is given to projects that fuel experiential learning and to schools and classrooms that most need the Foundation's support. In the past, Opportunity Grants have funded projects like:
• Robotics and coding curriculum and equipment for elementary school students
• The purchase of LCD projectors and replacement of outdated technology
• The construction of an on-site student designed greenhouse
"It is very difficult for schools to find sources of funding for special projects that are so hands-on and beneficial to students," commented Marti, lead teacher for the greenhouse project. "Getting the grant money inspires the teacher and ignites passion that can be transferred back to the students."
Your gift, which will be doubled, could make an inspiring field trip possible that was previously out of reach. It could stimulate a student to discover a new passion through an after-school club, or it could ensure essential science and technology equipment is available to students who need it.
Join the movement this Colorado Gives Day. Simply click the 'Donate' button and schedule your gift for Tuesday, December 5.
