Colorado Women's Education Foundation

A nonprofit organization

$2,430 raised by 5 donors

3% complete

$75,000 Goal

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:

Angela | a single mother of three, returned to college as an adult learner:
“Your scholarship has given me not only financial relief, but the mental and emotional support I need to succeed. 
My children are witnessing me pursue my dreams—and that is everything.”

Ishamina | once unhoused and unable to stay employed, now holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Work:
“This donation eased my financial burden and increased my faith. I never imagined I’d be where I am today.”

Julie | a non-traditional student returning to college after 20 years:
“I want to lead by example for my adopted children. Your generosity reminds me that 
compassion still exists—and it fuels me to keep going.”

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?

Together, we can continue changing lives through education. 
One donation and one scholarship at a time.

Mission

We stand steadfast with women over 25 pursuing their educational ambitions, breaking down barriers through scholarships, programs, and community connections.
