RMP Gifted $4.5 Million by MacKenzie Scott

October 21, 2022   |   By Tricia Noyola, CEO

Dear Rocky Mountain Prep Community, 

I hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend ahead. I have some exciting news to share. 

This week, we received an unprecedented $4.5 million gift from philanthropist and author MacKenzie Scott.

Ms. Scott is a mother and activist who pledged in 2019 to give a significant portion of her multi-billion-dollar fortune away to charitable organizations. Her donation serves as an investment in the success of our scholars, and it comes as a direct result of the great work of our staff across the network. 

We haven’t finalized how we will use the funds, but I can assure you that we will continue to take a student-first approach to the decisions we make, ensuring that every dollar directly benefits our incredible scholars and the work that matters most — the work happening in our classrooms every single day.

We are beyond grateful for Ms. Scott’s generosity and will continue to work to ensure every child reaches their full potential through a rigorous and loving elementary education.

Con Ganas,

Tricia Noyola

CEO, Rocky Mountain Prep


Estimada comunidad de Rocky Mountain Prep, 

Espero que todos estén deseando la llegada del fin de semana. Quiero compartir algunas noticias emocionantes.

Durante esta semana, recibimos una donación sin precedentes de 4,5 millones de dólares de la filántropa y escritora MacKenzie Scott.

La Sra. Scott es madre y activista quien en el año 2019 se comprometió a donar una parte importante de su multimillonaria fortuna a organizaciones benéficas. Esta donación supone una gran inversión en el éxito de nuestros eruditos, y se debe a la gran labor de nuestro personal en toda la red.

Aún no hemos decidido el uso que daremos a los fondos, pero les puedo asegurar que vamos a seguir dando prioridad a los estudiantes en nuestras decisiones, garantizando así que cada dólar beneficia directamente a nuestros excelentes becarios y al trabajo más importante: el trabajo que sucede en nuestras aulas todos los días.

Agradecemos enormemente la generosidad de la Sra. Scott y continuaremos trabajando para asegurarnos de que todos los niños logren su máximo potencial a través de una educación primaria rigurosa y amorosa.

Con Ganas,

Tricia Noyola

Directora ejecutiva de Rocky Mountain Prep
