Women’s Foundation of Colorado
Girls’ Grantmaking Fund
The mission of The Women’s Foundation of Colorado is to build resources and lead change so that women and girls are full and equal participants in society. A goal to fulfilling our mission is to ensure that every woman in Colorado is economically self-sufficient, and every girl is on the path to economic self-sufficiency in adulthood.
In order for girls to be economically self-sufficient, The Foundation believes that education is the key. In particular it is imperative that all girls in our state graduate from high school. Your organization has been invited to apply for funding through the Girls’ Grantmaking Fund because of the work you conduct in helping girls to graduate.
