Colorado Gives Day
Celebrate the success of Colorado Gives Day 2022 with us!
On December 6, 2022, something extraordinary happened. The Colorado Women's Education Foundation (CWEF) received an outpouring of support from 250 generous donors who contributed almost $70,000 on Colorado Gives Day. Your donations will allow CWEF to award one of the greatest numbers of scholarships in our 46-year history to hardworking women pursuing education and careers in 2023. We are honored to be the beneficiaries of your charitable giving and grateful for your belief in our mission.
One of the highlights of our Colorado Gives Day campaign was the extraordinary effort of 14 former scholarship recipients who came together to pay it forward and fund a scholarship for another woman. Through social media, emails, and personal fundraising pages, they raised a total of $1,610, showing the ripple effect of the impact of education on the lives of women.
Paying it Forward: Recipients Fund a Scholarship for Another Woman
Thanks to the generosity of our scholarship recipients, CWEF will have even more resources to empower women through education. Fourteen former scholarship recipients came together to raise $1,610, which will fund a scholarship for another deserving woman in 2023. Their efforts show how much education can inspire and how much impact women can make when they support each other.
