Colorado Women's Education Foundation

In Colorado, 90% of living-wage jobs require post-secondary education.

For nearly 50 years, the Colorado Women’s Education Foundation (CWEF) 
has been closing that gap—one scholarship, one woman, one transformed family at a time.

Today, we’re asking you to stand with the Colorado women 
who are rewriting their futures through education.

Why Your Gift Matters

When you give to CWEF, you’re not just providing financial support—you’re offering stability, confidence, and a belief in what’s possible. These women—and hundreds more—are building better lives for themselves and their families because donors like you believed in their potential.

Just listen to the women whose lives you’ve already touched:

Jayde
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support! This scholarship eases a financial burden and allows me to stay focused on my academics and continue showing my children that hard work pays off! I truly appreciate the kindness and belief CWEF has in students like me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Reba
“I am deeply honored to be a part of the CWEF's community and celebration. I went from making $15.00/hr as a receptionist to making $70,000/yr as an Entry Level Project Engineer. That's a 124.36% increase! Life changing to say the least. These numbers meant so much to me then but seeing them written out like this has truly taken my breath away. I am forever grateful for the opportunities this scholarship afforded me."

Alejandra
“As a first-generation college student pursuing my nursing degree, there have been times when the financial burden of school has felt overwhelming. This scholarship is so much more than financial support. It is encouragement to keep going, especially on the days that feel the hardest. Because of your generosity, I can focus more on my education and continue working toward my dream of becoming a nurse who cares for others with compassion and kindness."

Your Support Today Creates Opportunities Tomorrow

A gift to CWEF helps women across Colorado access the education they need to secure 
living-wage jobs, break cycles of poverty, and model empowerment for the next generation.

Will you make a donation today to open the door to education—and opportunity—for Colorado women?

One donation and one scholarship at a time.
