About ROOTED

ROOTED is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) public charity focused on advancing educational equity through grantmaking, family engagement, and community-led advocacy. The organization partners with schools, community groups, and funders to strengthen school-community relationships, amplify family voice, and support strategies that improve outcomes for historically underserved students. In recent years ROOTED has run citywide family-engagement efforts (including door-to-door LEARN canvassing and leadership training for caregivers), distributed school and community grants, and collaborated closely with local partners to shape education policy and school improvement initiatives. ROOTED has also worked in close coordination with Denver Families for Public Schools to align community organizing, family leadership, and grantmaking toward equitable K–12 outcomes.
