Grantwriting Tip: A confident, appreciative, direct, and formal tone is best in grant language.

Offering support to our PSD teen parent students wanting to in May 2026.

Right now, 9 teen parents in the Poudre School District can’t attend school because they don’t have child care for their babies. Without it, they risk dropping out—limiting their futures, and their children’s.

💙 We’re working hard for long-term solutions through Measure 1B this fall.
💙 But these families can’t wait.

A generous family foundation has pledged $75,000 as a match—so every gift you make is DOUBLED to help these parents today.

Donate today: impact.uwaylc.org/teenparentinschool
