Racial justice is fundamental to gender equity and economic justice.
The Women's Foundation of Colorado's Women & Girls of Color Fund is a community-developed, community-led field-of-interest fund dedicated to investing in and partnering with women-of-color-led organizations that are working to advance the economic security of Colorado women and girls of color.
Women and girls of color are assets to our communities. By collaborating with and investing in them, we are investing in their inherent gifts and invaluable contributions. Our approach focuses on elevating women and girls of color across the state of Colorado to create a better future for all of us.
"Lack of representation, professional opportunities, diversity, lack of peer networks, and support among women of color are some of the barriers we face in rural Colorado. This funding will give us the opportunity to learn, connect and feel supported by other women that might be going through the same journey as well as to continue making an impact in our community where it is needed most." - Nelly Navarro, Executive Director of Integrated Communities, 2021 & 2022 Women & Girls of Color Fund Grantee
