Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
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.

Opening doors to college: Helping students earn credit early
“I learned how to manage my time and get my assignments done without a lot of guidance. Once I actually enrolled in college, I felt better prepared than a lot of my peers,” said Michelle Arciniega, a Boulder High School graduate and first-generation college student.
Speak up for the future of education
Last week, our team joined thousands of educators, students, and community members at the Capitol for a statewide rally — calling for no more funding cuts to education. Colorado legislators are trying to address a more than $1 billion state budget shortfall by taking money from public education yet again.
The magic of words: How a journaling project creates lasting bonds
At Whittier Elementary, third graders are experiencing the profound impact of forming relationships through the simple act of writing. The WISE Journaling Project pairs students with adult volunteers who exchange letters in a journal throughout the school year. This unique program not only enhances writing skills but also builds lasting bonds that extend beyond the classroom.
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.
