About

School is Cool is a CSU community outreach program that provides supply-filled backpacks to elementary, middle, and high school students from low-income families in the Poudre School District (PSD).

Since its inception in 1992, this CSU employee-led and organized program has provided more than 61,000 Poudre School District students with the resources they need to excel in the classroom. Through the generosity of university alumni, faculty, staff, and friends, we can impact even more students.

A gift of just $35 can provide a brand-new backpack filled with grade-specific school supplies to a student in need. All donations to this project will benefit the "School is Cool" Program fund. Will you give today and support students in our community?

Thanks to our friends at Front Range Community College for their partnership and support of 2025 School is Cool!
