Supporting Black Coloradoans.
The Sachs Foundation uplifts Black Coloradans through mentorship, scholarship, teacher support, and community investment. For nearly a century, we've worked to close the racial wealth gap and build a future powered by the full potential of our community.
Our Programs
-
Elevated Program provides pre-collegiate mentoring to Black students in grades 8 through 12, empowering them to access and succeed in higher education.
-
Sachs Scholarships minimize the financial burden of higher education, allowing Black Coloradan students to earn their degrees with minimal debt and access elite universities.
-
Teacher Development is powered by partnerships with Teach For America Colorado and MSU Denver's Call Me Mister, which identify and engage Black students considering a career in education.
