Mission: The Donnell-Kay Foundation improves public education and drives systemic school reform in Colorado through solid research, creative dialogue and critical thinking. What We Do: In order to build a strong future for Colorado, we must provide a high quality education for all our students. The Foundation focuses on funding systemic reform and state level policy in the areas of early childhood, K-12, and higher education. The Foundation also provides operating and program funding to school districts and non-profit organizations statewide - with a focus on urban schools in metro-Denver. Who We Are: The Donnell-Kay Foundation is a private family foundation that operates as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and was incorporated in 1965 through a trust by the Kay family. The board of trustees is led by Allen Dines, a former Colorado state legislator, who has an abiding interest in improving public education. The Executive Director is Tony Lewis. Who We Support: Annually, the Foundation provides approximately $1 million to support education improvement and reform efforts in Colorado. The Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals, but does accept concept papers that address statewide educational policy issues.
