Nathan Yip Foundation

The Nathan Yip Foundation supports K-12 rural education.

Founded in 2002, the Nathan Yip Foundation (NYF) is a Denver-based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports K-12 rural education as well as new programming related to equity, inclusivity, youth empowerment and anti-bullying. The organization got its start building schools and supporting students and teachers in rural communities throughout China. After exploring grantmaking in other parts of the world, the Nathan Yip Foundation refocused its mission in 2016 to support schools specifically in rural communities around Colorado. It raises funds through special events (many celebrating the founders’ Asian heritage) and invests in schools through a robust annual grants and program partnership program.
