Great Education Colorado
a nonprofit organization dedicated to driving educational excellence for all Colorado students through grassroots activism.
PUBLIC EDUCATION VOTER
We are onto something special, and we need your support!
As Colorado voters, we have the power to create and pass laws through the citizens initiative process, and that starts with getting on the ballot!
What’s the big idea? Without raising taxes, we can add nearly $900 million to K12 public schools, meaning more support for our students and better pay for our educators!
Excited about that idea? Let us know that you’re with us!
- Pledge to sign a petition and/or carry one yourself using the form below! Share this with friends, family, and colleagues.
- Donate as a one-time or recurring donor. We’re a grassroots powered organization, for you and by you! Every donation strengthens our ability to inform and empower advocates and voters.
Have any questions or want to talk with our team? Contact Cody Ostenson at cody@greateducation.org, and let’s chat!
Become an AMPE donor
Great Education Colorado’s Ambassadors for Public Education are generous, passionate, and diverse partners who believe that making impactful change to public school funding requires meaningful, philanthropic commitment.
Ambassadors for Public Education pledge minimum annual gifts of $1,000 to Great Education Colorado for three years (paid quarterly or annually). Collectively, your pledges form a sustainable philanthropic pillar empowering Great Ed to maintain the adequate and equitable education funding movement.
All Ambassadors are able to stay knowledgable about pressing education funding topics, support Great Education Colorado and share with the community the strategies to support public education funding across the state of Colorado.
Advocates Network Meeting
