About The Colorado LiftED Foundation

The Colorado LiftED Foundation is a long-term partner to youth. We believe that when we make a deep, long-term commitment to youth and their families, our whole community thrives. We walk side-by-side with youth and their families as they navigate school and life, offering academic, social, and emotional support as they learn, grow, and work toward their dreams.

No one should have to take this journey alone. Since our founding in 1988, we have leveraged proven methods to give youth equal access to the resources they need to succeed and ignite their innate potential. When we keep our promises, anything is possible.

Our Vision

A Colorado where every young person has equal access to educational and career opportunities that will ignite their innate potential.

Our Values

A Seat at the Table: In any decision we are making, we have an open seat at the table for our youth, families, and communities.

An Inch Wide, A Mile Deep: We impact a small group, but we support them deeply and with everything we have.

Once A Dreamer, Always a Dreamer: Longevity and an unshakeable commitment throughout a youth’s life are at the core of what we do and how we do it.

Whatever It Takes: We will do whatever is in our power to find the way forward.

We Not Me: Collaboration and partnership make everything and anything possible
