Who we are

The Pupil Assistance Fund (PAF) was founded in the 1940s by a group of DPS social workers and psychologists who saw a need for services not covered by the district. It is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) Colorado Corporation dedicated to facilitating Denver Public Schools mission of “Every Learner Thrives” by providing funds for special projects, goods and services that support school readiness, student engagement, and academic success.
