Community Partners
2021-22 Community Partners
Impact on Education relies on the support of community partners who, like us, believe in the potential of all students and understand the importance of strong schools to a strong local economy. We rely on these partnerships to fuel our mission. When everyone gets involved to support public education, we can implement lasting change and strengthen the entire Boulder Valley community.
Thank you to the following community partners who are supporting our work this year.
Boulder Valley School District
Our relationship with the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) is a special one. We have different roles in public education, but our goals for students are the same. Our staff coordinates with BVSD educators and administrators on a daily basis to deliver programs. BVSD Superintendent Dr. Anderson also serves as an Ex Officio member of our Board of Directors.
Boulder Valley Educational Association
We’re grateful to partner with the Boulder Valley Education Association (BVEA) so that the voice of BVSD’s educators is included in our decisions.

Our partnership with the Arly Kruse Education Foundation supports supplemental reading and math instruction and tutoring for elementary school students in need of intervention.
