Who we are

The Pupil Assistance Fund (PAF) was established in the 1940s by a group of DPS social workers and psychologists who recognized a need for services not provided by the district. It is a non-profit 501(c)(3) 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.
