RootED is passionately committed to ensuring every child in Denver has the opportunity and support to achieve success in school, college and their chosen career.
We believe students, schools, and communities thrive when they have the access, tools, and resources to drive change, so we provide funding and strategic support to schools and organizations that authentically engage their communities to create world-class public schools.
RootED supports autonomous schools and community-driven, community-led work through funding, strategy, collaboration, information and other resources to advance equity in education.
