Colorado Gives Day

Colorado Gives Day, December 9, 2025

Vertical Skills Academy is participating in Colorado Gives Day, the biggest 24-hour giving movement in the state. You can be part of the movement with your support for VSA. 

 

Your Colorado Gives Day gift will help VSA replenish our depleted scholarship funds so we can ensure all students have the opportunity to get the help and support they deserve. This year alone, we awarded $25,000 in scholarships.

 

Early giving begins November 1

From now through December 9, every donation you make is boosted by a $1M+ Incentive Fund, thanks to Colorado Gives Foundation and FirstBank. The more we raise, the bigger our share. Plus, if you set up a new monthly recurring donation, Colorado Gives Foundation will match your first monthly gift up to $100 (and up to $250K total across all organizations)! It’s an exciting way for you to double the impact of your continued support.

 

How to Get Started:

  1. Visit our donation page at https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/VerticalSkillsAcademy
  2. Click ‘Donate’ and choose to do a one-time donation or select the option for a monthly donation.
  3. If you select monthly, your donation will be matched automatically.

Help us reach our goal of $35k and make dyslexia schooling or tutoring a reality for students in need!

Dyslexia Simulation & Open House, Feb 2026

When:  TBD

Where: Vertical Skills Academy, 4000 S. Wadsworth Blvd, Littleton, CO

*Dyslexia Simulation: This free, 2-hour simulation exercise is open to teachers, parents, and other community members interested in better understanding what your students and/or children are experiencing. Participants will work through 5 tasks that simulate what it is like to have dyslexia/dysgraphia, as well as learn about dyslexia. We recommend participants be 11+ years old without dyslexia (however, students with dyslexia may attend in order to support the education of their loved ones). Childcare will be available. RSVP is required so we can prepare materials for all participants. RSVP to admin@VerticalSkillsAcademy.org.

Thank you to our Sponsors of Rockin’ Dyslexia! We appreciate their support and generosity for students with dyslexia! Look here for next year’s date!
