Annual Fund

Make a gift to the Annual Fund by selecting the fund you would like to support below. 

The Annual Fund is a collective gift from the community to fill the gap between the State and Federal funds received and the annual operating budget of the Aspen and Carbondale Community Schools. 


The Annual Fund allows the community schools to keep class sizes small while maintaining the high quality of our successful program. Gifts from parents, grandparents, alumni families, faculty, staff, and friends directly impact the current year’s operating budget and provide crucial financial support to our school. The Annual Fund is a philanthropic opportunity to make an impact today that directly supports the people and programs that make the Community Schools a unique and unparalleled educational experience.

Giving Levels

The Annual Fund is the most important yearly fundraising effort at the Community Schools. We aim for 100% participation from the board of trustees, current families, and faculty and staff. Gifts to the Annual Fund are a direct investment in the education of every community school student. Because dollars from the Annual Fund are flexible and immediately available, your generosity can be put to good use right now, addressing current needs and having a real impact.

How much each family contributes is a personal decision. Gifts of all sizes matter and are appreciated, they make a difference to our students and the community. The only gift too small is no gift at all!
