This year, women’s freedoms and opportunities in Colorado hang in the balance. Supports that help women meet their basic needs are being pulled back, and mandates against diversity, equity, and inclusion are closing doors that generations fought to open.
Colorado has long been a place where women could thrive — but that legacy is at risk.
Your gift to The Women’s Foundation of Colorado helps protect and advance opportunity for all women in our state. You’ll power the work of nearly 60 nonprofit partners meeting urgent community needs, filling the gaps left by government cutbacks, and providing direct cash assistance to women and their families.
And you’ll fuel policy change with real impact — more money in women’s pockets through tax credits, access to paid family and medical leave, affordable child care, and equal pay for equal work.
Together, we can make sure Colorado remains a place where every woman has the chance not just to survive, but to thrive.
💜 Will you make your Colorado Gives Day gift today to safeguard women’s progress and power their future?
Catalyzing community to advance and accelerate economic opportunities for Colorado women and their families.
WFCO is the only community foundation in the state focused on gender, racial, and economic equity. We invest in the inherent gifts and talents of women so they have what they need to be leaders in their lives, their families, their businesses, and their communities. We do this through philanthropy, community, public policy advocacy, grantmaking, and research.
Recent legislation and ballot measures we helped to pass through our advocacy include equal pay for equal work, paid family and medical leave, universal pre-kindergarten, and eliminating state sales tax on diaper, incontinence, and period products. We also granted more than $2.6 million in the last fiscal year to nonprofits across the state through our WINcome and Women & Girls of Color Fund grantmaking programs.
