About The Foundation for Jefferson Academy
Our Mission
The Foundation for Jefferson Academy is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a primary mission of providing financial support across the entire community of Jefferson Academy, a K-12 charter school located in Broomfield, Colorado.
Our Story
As a public charter school, Jefferson Academy receives the same per pupil spending as a traditional public school, but it does not receive funding for buildings, facilities, grounds, or equipment. Established in 2011, the Foundation for Jefferson Academy exists to support large-scale projects in these areas as well as technology, safety & maintenance upgrades, academics, staff salaries and our Community Cares program.
Utilizing grants, fundraisers and donations from our school community as well as businesses, alumni and non-profit organizations, we serve as a critical resource for campus administration, teachers, classrooms and social programs. Ultimately, our support upholds Jefferson Academy's mission to help students achieve their highest academic and character potential to become responsible, productive citizens.
Events & Programs
Community Cares
The Community Cares program has seen remarkable success and growth over the past few years and The Foundation is happy to support this effort on behalf of the entire JA Community. The program has provided assistance to JA families during the holiday period by matching donors with families needed a little extra help. However we are looking to extend the program to cover needs that might arise throughout the year.

Bricks are Back!
Leave Your Legacy at Jefferson Academy!
In recognition of JA's 30th year, The Foundation for Jefferson Academy is pleased once again to be offering friends, family and staff of JA the opportunity to custom engrave a commemorative brick, which will be laid outside either the Elementary, Secondary or Coal Creek campus buildings.
In addition to leaving a lasting legacy at JA, the purchase of a brick will help fund The Foundation's various initiatives too! A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each brick will come directly back to The Foundation. Thank you!
