Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. When more of us participate, our impact multiplies — proving that together, we grow stronger. Giving Day is about community, and each person’s participation helps ensure ISDenver continues to flourish.

Show Your Appreciation for ISDenver’s Faculty and Staff!

The Staff Appreciation Fund is a simple, meaningful way to express your gratitude for the dedicated faculty and staff who make ISDenver an extraordinary place. 

Your contribution to this limited-time fund will be pooled and collectively distributed directly to faculty and staff in their December paycheck – this includes all teachers, administrators, assistants, coaches, maintenance staff, and other essential team members.

Giving to our community in this way eases the stress of holiday gift-giving while ensuring everyone is included and feels valued.

The Global Gala is ISDenver’s signature, community-wide celebration and fundraiser. More than just a gala, it’s an evening designed to inspire connection, highlight experiential activities, and celebrate the unique spirit of our community. Each year brings a fresh theme—like last year’s unforgettable Passport to Paradise—and a new way to come together in support of our school.

In April 2025, thanks to the generosity of our families and friends, the Global Gala raised over $210,000 to benefit ISDenver students. From exciting live and silent auctions to paddle-raising moments and interactive activities like the Wine & Spirits Pull, the night was filled with joy, impact, and celebration.

As we look ahead, we’re exploring new concepts and ways to engage our community while raising essential funds for our school.  Stay tuned!
