Cherry Creek Schools Foundation

The Cherry Creek Schools Foundation (CCSF) is the district-level nonprofit partner for Cherry Creek School District, organized to raise funds, award educator grants, support student basic needs, provide scholarships, and invest in districtwide initiatives that expand opportunity and innovation for students and teachers.

Founded in the early 1990s and operating as a 501(c)(3), CCSF focuses on districtwide impact—funding classroom innovation through small Educator Initiative Grants, supporting mental health and basic needs programs, and growing an endowment to sustain long-term priorities.

In recent years CCSF has increased grantmaking and district supports, reporting six-figure annual grant totals, scholarship awards, and targeted donations to student mental health while continuing signature fundraising efforts such as its annual gala and seasonal giving campaigns.
