OUR STATEMENT

Impact on Education is committed to equalizing opportunity in education across racial and socioeconomic lines. We understand how important education is in determining a child’s future, and we work every day to ensure all Boulder Valley students have a bright path forward.

We acknowledge that distributing funds and resources equally throughout our schools does not address underlying inequalities, so we prioritize causes, schools, and students facing the largest obstacles to success. Unfortunately, it is not a coincidence that the students and schools most in need of our support are communities of color.

Our role in fighting systemic racism and social injustices is to support equitable education. We are committed to our mission and are in constant inquiry as to how we can do better.

OUR MISSION

Impact on Education supports students in Boulder Valley public schools with supplemental funding and resources in order to address critical needs and opportunity gaps.
