Who We Are
About the Foundation
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.

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 within the Elementary, Secondary or Cow 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 and a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each brick will come directly back to The Foundation.

General Donations
We are continually looking to partner with local businesses and organizations in and around our community, and to look for innovative ways to expand our grant and scholarship programs. We also rely on the generosity of individuals — parents, alumni and others who similarly recognize the impact they can make by helping support K-12 education.
