Mission Statement
The Poudre School District Foundation's mission is to inspire community investment in quality student learning experiences. The Poudre School District Foundation ignites powerful learning opportunities that would not otherwise be financially possible. We provide the resources for educators to implement innovative programs and projects that positively impact student achievement. With support from the community and funding organizations, our students will have access to powerful learning opportunities.
About This Cause
The greater Fort Collins area community is fortunate to be supported by an incredibly high quality school district that provides students with an excellent education. However, out of the 50 states, Colorado is 43rd in federal funding schools on a per-student basis. In addition, out of the 178 school districts in Colorado, Poudre School District receives the lowest amount per student from the State as a result of current State funding formulas. In response, our local community has supported the District by providing additional resources through mill levy overrides to increase the financial support schools receive. However, there are still gaps in funding the educational opportunities we desire for children in our community. The Foundation aims to fill these gaps through community donor support. The Foundation board and committee members are passionate individuals – parents, community members, retirees, business leaders, anyone with the desire to help students achieve their full potential – with the goal of providing resources to further the Poudre School District’s mission and District Priorities: Literacy, Mental Health & Belonging, and Graduation with Options. Our goal is to make a positive impact on our students and the educators who inspire them and help them excel. The Foundation's funding focus areas are: - Literacy - Graduating with Options - Mental Health - Compassion Fund
