RootED Annual Impact Report 2022-23

2023 is RootED’s fifth year providing funding and strategic support to community-based organizations and public charter and innovation zone schools in Denver.

For a half-decade, RootED has facilitated connections and collaboration among advocacy organizations, schools and communities in the metro area.

We do this so students—particularly students of color, students from low-income households, students who receive special education services, and English language learners—can thrive in their schools and communities.

Our 2023 funding helped:
– Expand access to high-quality education and learning, particularly for students of color and students from low-income households.
– Fund professional learning opportunities for educators.
– Support learning and mentorship programs for students of color.
– Provide free transportation for students to high-performing schools; and more.
