Read Our 2023/24 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 2024/2025 school year–$1.4 million! The continued generosity of this community towards our mission never ceases to amaze me. 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.
"Our community’s most important mission is the education of our children."
