The Ambassador Foundation provides pathways for underrepresented students to apply to college, graduate with less debt, build leadership skills, earn scholarships, and prepare for careers. The work is rooted in opportunity for a population that includes immigrants and refugees representing 45 countries and 39 languages.
“What I do to help pay it forward is to help students who are first generation, second language learners who are applying to colleges ... or if they need mentoring, I’ll be there to guide [them.]”

You are helping someone take the next step. Think of the person who believed in you when it counted. A teacher, a mentor, a family member. For our students, that person is often their Ambassador college advisor. Your gift puts an advisor in a student’s corner.
Your giving already worked: Since 2022, donors like you helped 65 students in our leadership program secure more than $1 million in financial aid. That is about $15,000 per student that families do not have to borrow. The need is growing. College costs keep rising, and many aid sources have less to give. Finding enough funding takes more applications, more deadlines, and more persistence. Students need someone who knows where to look and how to make the case. That is what our college advisors do.
What your gift does:
$50 Funds the first college advising session for a new student
$250 Funds a Peer Network leader stipend for one quarter
$1,000 Funds college advising for one student for one year
In the final two months of 2026, we are working to raise $48,300. That's 10% of our program budget. A monthly gift allows us to plan ahead for programs to meet student need all year long.
From November 1 to Colorado Gives Day on December 8, every new monthly donor's first month will be matched up to $100. One gift or recurring gifts -- either way, you are telling a Colorado neighbor that their future matters and someone believes in them.
Opening doors to higher education for Colorado students throughout their post-secondary journey through graduation. Building community while enriching the lives of families, fellow students, and those who follow.
Established in August 2022, The Ambassador Foundation formed to bridge gaps in higher educational opportunities by providing financial support and college preparation services to refugee, immigrant, and underserved populations. The organization meets needs left due to lack of funding for similar services once included in resettlement programs in Colorado.
The Ambassador Foundation’s mission expanded to a robust model serving underrepresented populations with college advising, leadership development, scholarships, internships, and a peer-led network for community building. The mentoring and well-rounded services ensure students enroll, remain engaged, and graduate from post-secondary institutions in Colorado and beyond.
