The Women's Foundation of Colorado concentrates on increasing the economic security, leadership, and prosperity of women and girls in Colorado, emphasizing those of color. Through their grants and initiatives, they aim to rectify the disparities in philanthropic support, ensuring women of color and their families have equitable opportunities to thrive.
The Women & Girls of Color Fund is a grant program prioritizing organizations led by women or girls of color executive directors. It focuses on building economic power and dismantling oppressive systems either through direct service or community organizing. With a bi-annual grant cycle—one for a Rural focus and the other for the Front Range area—it aims to address the significant underfunding women and girls of color face, receiving just 0.5% of all philanthropic dollars. Key priorities include supporting Colorado-based initiatives that promote economic security, are led by and focus on women and girls of color, employ liberatory leadership practices, and prioritize those most marginalized and underfunded.
