A New Tradition, Celebrating a Shared Purpose
In its second year, ISDenver Giving Day once again celebrated the unmatched power of our community—and what a showing it was! Families, faculty, staff, and friends came together in record numbers, demonstrating the spirit and generosity that make ISDenver truly exceptional.
Thanks to you, we’re well on our way to meeting our $730,000 annual Community Giving goal, with almost every grade level unlocking funds through the Grade Level Participation Challenge. Participation from new families, first-time donors, and long-time supporters alike shows the impact we can make when we come together.
It’s not too late to join in! Every gift matters and directly supports what matters most at ISDenver:
- Extraordinary faculty
- Expanded financial assistance
- Athletics and student well-being
- Flexible resources for our greatest needs
Your support strengthens programs, resources, and faculty while showing our students the power of a community that believes in them.
New This Year: Grade Level Challenge!
We’re aspiring to 100% participation in Community Giving this year, because every family giving something – no matter the size – shows collective commitment to ISDenver.
To help get us there, we’ve set a Giving Day participation challenge inspired by our founding year in 1977. Let’s reach 77% participation in every grade by the end of Giving Day, September 30th!
Thanks to our Board of Trustees, each grade can unlock up to $5,000 in bonus gifts:
- At 50% participation, $2,500 is unlocked.
- At 77% participation, the full $5,000 is unlocked.
As a fun twist, teachers will choose which Community Giving Fund their grade’s unlocked dollars support—so students see their teamwork fueling real impact.
Your gift of any amount counts toward participation! Families with children in multiple grades count toward each grade’s progress.
Extra Incentive: Families who help their child’s grade reach the 77% goal will also be entered into a Dragon Swag Drawing – the perfect way to show your ISDenver pride!
