Read Our 2024/25 AEF Impact Report
The immediate impact of our fundraising on the school experience is unlike most organizations I know. And the results are incredible. We just capped off a record-breaking year for AEF by delivering our largest check (by far) to the district for the 2025/2026 school year! The continued generosity of this community towards supporting our students is truly what makes our schools exceptional. Please read our full impact report here.

Our vision is that every child in our community has access to an extraordinary public education. All students deserve rigorous academics and a multitude of beyond classroom educational experiences that inspire curiosity and a love of learning.
Aspen Education Foundation champions public education, raising money to fund programs and positions of distinction. In partnership with school administrators and the community, we identify programs that we believe are vital for our students, but are not funded by the State of Colorado. We support academics, educators, students, and the Aspen public schools.
"As President of AEF, I can say that this experience has been more rewarding than I could imagine. The immediate impact of our fundraising on the school experience is unlike most organizations I know. And the results are incredible."
Paul Sohn, parent, AEF Board President
