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
