Thanks to the PeyBack Foundation

In honor of the Denver Broncos and their fearless leader we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the PeyBack Foundation for their support. Through this support, Denver Urban Scholars’ students and mentors attended yesterday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The PeyBack Foundation also made a contribution that will allow us to further our mission of preparing students for college and career readiness.

Each year, the PeyBack Foundation funds various programs in Colorado, Indiana, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The foundation has distributed more than $7.5 million in grants since 2002, including over $1 million in May 2014 to 153 youth-based organizations.

The PeyBack Foundation focuses primarily on economically disadvantaged youth. Emphasis is placed on programs that have a direct benefit to children through relationships and activities. Programs that are intended to enrich the lives of disadvantaged youth through activities conducted outside the typical school day (i.e., after-school and summer programming) are particularly favored by the Foundation.

We are so grateful to the PeyBack Foundation for their support of Denver Urban Scholars!
