THE AVERAGE COST OF FULL-TIME, CENTER-BASED CHILD CARE IN LARIMER COUNTY IS $1,277 PER MONTH, PER CHILD, WHICH CAN MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR SINGLE PARENTS TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION.

In response to this need, WomenGive, a program of United Way of Larimer County, was started in Larimer County in 2006 by a group of passionate and caring women who wanted to create an opportunity for women in our community to come together to help other women. Today, WomenGive is comprised of a dynamic network of more than 500 members who use their financial resources to help women in Larimer County achieve economic self-sufficiency.

WomenGive provides support and financial assistance through child care scholarships to single mothers pursuing postsecondary education. WomenGive helps families achieve self-sufficiency allowing them to focus on their studies, knowing their children are receiving high-quality care in a safe environment.

WomenGive also partners with The Women’s Foundation of Colorado to address public policy issues related to women and self-sufficiency at the state level.
