The Women'S Foundation Of Colorado

Through research, public policy advocacy, grantmaking, and the cultivation of philanthropy, The Women's Foundation of Colorado catalyzes community to advance and accelerate economic opportunities for Colorado women and their families. Our Core Values PROMISE: We believe in infinite possibilities. We know all women and girls have the innate potential and power to succeed. LEADERSHIP: We are willing to take risks in pursuit of our vision. We will lead in harnessing passion to include and amplify the voices of diverse women and girls. We believe that leadership by women and girls in all sectors makes a positive difference in communities and society. COMMUNITY: We understand that advancing women’s economic self-sufficiency is complex, requiring the insights, investments, and commitment of many. We believe that we can achieve more in partnership with others. LEARNING: We seek to learn from our grantees, strategic partners, and others to inform our research and to identify needs. We believe mutual and continuous learning will not only advance progress toward our vision but also stimulate innovative solutions to issues impacting women and girls. EQUITY AND INCLUSION: We strive to understand the intersection of identities and to address structural systems of inequity in the pursuit of equity. We believe that deliberately including diverse perspectives in our work and in our decision-making will lead to better results. STEWARDSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY: We act with integrity, look back and look forward on important issues, practice a bias for action, focus on systemic change, and measure our results. We hold ourselves accountable to our mission, our donors, our stakeholders, and the communities we serve.
