The Telluride Education Foundation raises money to invest in the enrichment of K-12 education in the Telluride School District. Donations fund experiential education & social connections for STUDENTS, cost-of-living and appreciation for TEACHERS & PARAEDUCATORS, and social-emotional education for our COMMUNITY.

Telluride Education Foundation (TEF) is a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization that raises money to invest in the enrichment of K-12 education in the Telluride School District. Specifically, we raise funds for STUDENTS – experiential learning initiatives in and out of the classroom, TEACHERS & PARAEDUCATORS – grants and appreciation to encourage retention and attraction, and COMMUNITY – social and emotional education events.
