Kunsberg School: How to Help

Kunsberg is fortunate to be blessed with the resources to allow all of our students attend without paying tuition. Our students have zero costs to attend school here. We are funded through the Colorado Department of Education and through generous friends of Kunsberg. We currently have a Wish-List for items that would be helpful for our students. If you are interested in donating to Kunsberg, please contact the Development Office at 1-800-423-8891, ext. 6505.
