The Donnell-Kay Foundation is a private family foundation based in Denver, Colorado, operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on public education in the state. Its work aims to improve education and advance systemic reform across early childhood, K-12, and higher education, grounded in research, dialogue, and critical thinking. The foundation funds state-level policy work and provides operating and program support to school districts and nonprofit organizations statewide, with an emphasis on urban schools in the metro-Denver area. Incorporated in 1965 through a trust established by the Kay family, the foundation is governed by a board of trustees led by Allen Dines, with Tony Lewis serving as Executive Director. It does not accept unsolicited proposals but does consider concept papers addressing statewide educational policy issues.
