THE AVERAGE COST OF FULL-TIME, CENTER-BASED CHILDCARE IN LARIMER COUNTY IS $1,187.87 PER MONTH, PER CHILD, WHICH CAN MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT FOR SINGLE PARENTS TO FURTHER THEIR
EDUCATION.
In response to this need, WomenGive 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 in the form of childcare scholarships.
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.
To date, we have awarded 766 childcare scholarships, benefiting 400 children resulting in 115
recipients graduating.
