PSD Foundation
The Poudre School District Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that ignites powerful learning opportunities for students and educators in Poudre School District that would otherwise not be financially possible. We provide resources for the district and educators to implement programs and projects that positively impact student achievement. Due to the current federal and state funding model, Poudre School District receives the least amount per student possible from State and Federal funding. PSD Foundation aims to fill funding gaps through inspiring community investments.
Mission: Through inspiring community investments, the PSD Foundation is committed to providing lifelong learning opportunities that complement and celebrate every student, quality teachers, and innovative programming.
Vision: Support Poudre School District with funding that helps to ensure that all PSD students graduate prepared to be successful in our ever- changing world by demonstrating the outstanding standards, results and principles of public education.
Programs include:
- Ignite Grants providing grant funding access to teachers across the district to fund innovative projects
- Community sponsorship opportunities
- PSD Celebrates
- Post-secondary scholarship establishment and management
- Memorials
- Planned giving to benefit the school district
- and so much more
