My Nonprofit Reviews

In 2012, when my son was just six years old and starting his school journey, I discovered that Colorado ranked near the bottom in the nation for public education funding. After a tax initiative failed that same year—an effort I volunteered for—my friends and I revitalized the Public Education Foundation of Eagle County, now the Education Foundation of Eagle County (EFEC) to help address the funding challenges faced by our under-resourced schools.

After nine years of volunteering with EFEC, I became the Executive Director in 2020. I couldn’t be happier in this role. Since 2011, we have significantly grown our budget and take pride in being the #1 teacher retention initiative in Eagle County, Colorado, and a leader in the state for these efforts.

I am immensely grateful to EFEC, our dedicated teachers, and our generous donors for their unwavering support of our mission to elevate education in our community!
