UNLOCK OPPORTUNITY FOR FOSTER YOUTH

Thank you for being part of the Forward Steps community and for helping Guardian Scholars grow into the program it is today.

Forward Steps has been selected for a two-year matching grant through the Colorado Department of Higher Education, creating an opportunity to expand support for students in our Guardian Scholars Program.

Help us unlock year #1 of the match by June 30

$54,000 raised in new community support → $54,000 matched by the Colorado Department of Higher Education → $108,000 for Guardian Scholars this year → 28% growth in the fall cohort 9 additional scholars supported in the 2026-2027 school year

Each year, more students are ready for the Guardian Scholars Program than we have the resources to support. This match gives us a chance to change that.

Your gift before June 30 will be matched dollar for dollar and will help us reach more students this fall.

Thank you for helping us unlock this opportunity for Guardian Scholars.
