The success of BVSD students sometimes requires more than schools and teachers are able to provide during the day, and this is where Impact on Education steps in. For almost 40 years we’ve supported the 30,000 students and 4,000 educators in the Boulder Valley School District.
With a focus on increasing equity and closing opportunity gaps, our work supports BVSD students from preschool to graduation, and every step along the way.
“It’s beautiful to be bilingual.”For Dr. Bianca Gallegos, these words are more than a statement—they’re a call to action. As an Impact on Education board member and Executive Director of Strategic Partnerships for Boulder Valley School District (BVSD), Gallegos works to ensure that bilingual students are seen, valued and celebrated.
In 2024, educators and students across the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) gained vital support through $98,500 in grant funding from the Impact on Education Academic Opportunity Fund. These grants bridge educational gaps and foster innovative programs that enrich learning and promote equity.
Born and raised in Boulder, the University of Colorado campus loomed large in Jair Ortega’s life. To Jair, it was a symbol of opportunity, yet one that felt out of reach. Jair excelled in school, particularly in math, but tight family finances meant navigating the cost of education was a challenge from an early age. “I always thought college would be part of my story,” Jair said. “But the financial realities made it feel like something I’d never be able to afford.”
As 2024 draws to a close, our team has been reflecting on what we’ve achieved this year through the power of our community. We’re proud to share our 10 most popular blog posts — each capturing a unique moment of impact.
