Community engagement - to inspire and motivate individuals to join the movement to strengthen the community by improving economic opportunities and outcomes for colorado women and their families, the women's foundation of colorado gathers and shares research to inform our programmatic and policy work, connects with community members at its annual luncheon and community education events throughout the state.

Public policy support - wfco advocates for public policies that improve opportunities for colorado women and families to achieve economic security by addressing root causes of poverty and job training, access to childcare and pay equity. In pursuit of these public policy priorities, wfco awards grants to public policy organizations with aligned goals advancing gender, racial, and economic equity. Wfco also educates community members about our public policy priorities and how to engage in advocacy.
