Telluride Education Foundation

The Telluride Education Foundation raises funds to support Telluride’s Public Schools. We've been partnering with Telluride schools for over 30 years, including grants for: 

STUDENTS – experiential education in and out of the classroom (e.g. STEAM, field trips, etc)

TEACHERS & STAFF – cost-of-living, professional development, and staff positions due to loss of federal and state grants (Social & Behavioral Health and Literacy)

COMMUNITY – events to promote fun and engagement

Testimonials

"Overall and truly speaking, TEF is an amazing organization that provides incredible, thoughtful, and much needed support to teachers and students. I very much appreciate the work and effort you put into the organization and bettering our schools. A sincere thank you." Telluride School Teacher

From 3rd Grade Physics Rock Climbing:

“The number one thing the students gained from participating in this program was joy!”

“The learning from this project was very successful!”

From the TIS New Book Grant:

"Thank you so very much for giving me the funds to refresh my classroom library in order to ignite (or reignite in some cases) my students' excitement for exploring and reading the books in my classroom.”

From the 8th Grade Avalanche Science Trip:

"Aside from the avalanche learning objectives, for some of our students this is one of the first times they have put on snowshoes or spent a day on top of the pass. It's a really great day!”
