Jeffco Schools Foundation

We say, “Every Jeffco student thrives,” and we mean it 
— because too many are navigating obsticles no child should face.

Jeffco Public Schools serve 75,000 students and 23,000 (31%) of them qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
This means 1 in 3 students begin school hungry, a stark reminder of challenges Jeffco families face.
 Jeffco Public Schools are not just a place for learning—they are a lifeline for our Jeffco kids. 

As community members—whether or not we have children in Jeffco schools—we share a responsibility. These are our neighbors’ kids, the future workforce and leaders from Jefferson County. When schools lack resources the burden doesn’t just fall on teachers: it falls on all of us. 

That is why Jeffco Schools Foundation matters. Our mission—to bring equitable, excellent, and engaging educational opportunities to students across all Jeffco schools—is urgent.

With your support, we do more than patch gaps: we build real pathways for every child to grow, belong, and succeed. 

This Colorado Gives Day, your gift makes a difference:

🏫 Provide critical resources for under-resourced schools so no child falls behind.
🍎 Empower teachers to create classrooms that inspire and nurture every student.
🎨 Open doors to arts, career paths + enrichment for those missing out on these opportunities.

These are our Jeffco kids and we can arm them not just with hope, but with the ability to reach their full potential! Together, we can invest in their future not just as a charitable gesture, but as a shared responsibility.
