Telluride Education Winter Fundraiser

Telluride Education Foundation is committed to strong, sustained and equitable educational excellence for every student in the District. We strive to be a unifying force in supporting our public schools and bringing together educators, parents, students, local business and community members.

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.
 
 We are extremely grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support for TEF's programs and initiatives for the 2025/26 school year.
