Since 2008, the Community Foundation has catalyzed partnerships to close the achievement gap with dozens of nonprofits, government agencies, and business and faith leaders. Together, we mobilize resources and ignite action to ensure a better future for all Boulder County kids. The School Readiness Initiative has:
Developed, launched, incubated and spun off ELPASO – Engaged Latino Parents Advancing Student Outcomes – a movement designed to build the Latino parent voice for improved early learning outcomes.
Helped double preschool and full-day kindergarten in Boulder County
Helped secure more than $850 million in school construction bonds and annual public funding to our schools.
Catalyzed collaborative efforts to close the achievement gap, such as BVSD’s Success Effect, Dream Big and The Raising of America Partnership in Boulder County.
