Schools are facing unique challenges like never before. We’re raising funds to support their increasing needs.
Support Rural Schools.
Back-to-School Campaign Kick-Off | Zoom Happy Hour
Tuesday, Oct 13th, 5:30 - 6:30 PM MST
Catch up with the Nathan Yip Foundation family, see a recap of 2020, and learn what’s needed most in Colorado’s rural communities.
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our rural communities are facing new and difficult challenges as students return to the classroom this fall. We at Nathan Yip Foundation are committed to stepping up and helping our schools through these challenging circumstances.
To understand the current landscape of rural education in Colorado, we will feature video updates from Eads High School, Fowler Middle School, and Generation Schools Network to discuss the following:
- The biggest challenges of going back to school
- NYF grant updates
- The state of education in Colorado and needs moving forward

Support Colorado's Rural Students | Donations Doubled
Help Us Raise $31,000 by Oct 31, 2020.
Now through October 31st, all donations, in any amount, will be DOUBLED, thanks to a matching gift from the Nathan Yip Foundation Board of Directors.
Help us reach our goal of $31,000 raised to unlock this matching gift and DOUBLE our fundraising efforts to $62,000!
Our fundraising efforts have traditionally been event-based. With challenges from the ongoing pandemic, we hope you will consider giving in the amount you would have spent on tickets to our cancelled events.
Colorado’s rural communities are home to approximately 130,500 students that are often forgotten when it comes to access to the educational resources and learning opportunities that are necessary to build skills and succeed in the changing economic landscape.
Whether it’s sheer geographic distance or lack of funding, rural schools and communities are too often overlooked and need support bridging the gap!
Let us be your direct connection to rural Colorado!
