Our Work
Diverse schools, talent, and communities. We provide guidance and funding to make a high-quality education more accessible for historically underserved students.
Colorado Schools Fund supports public schools — schools that are free, open to all, and publicly funded and accountable.
We have supported the launch and expansion of a diverse range of schools across the state.

Excellent Schools = Great Teachers and Leaders
Colorado Schools Fund understands that any school is only as good as the leaders and teachers in the building. That is why we are partnering with Colorado’s Opportunity Now workforce initiative to grow talent pipelines.
Over the next two years this teacher talent initiative will result in:
110 high school students interested in pursuing a career in teaching dual-enrolled in college credit-earning courses
70+ paraprofessionals and non-instructional staff enrolled in bachelor’s programs on their way to becoming classroom teachers
75+ enrolled in one-year teacher residency programs with the option to work towards a master’s degree and/or special education licensure
We also support a new fellowship – the Legacy Fellowship – that provides a two-year paid training opportunity for aspiring public charter school founders. If you are interested in founding an innovative public school in Colorado, click the learn more button below.
