WFCO in Pueblo

Pueblo consistently ranks as one of the most affordable places to live in Colorado and is home to one of the nation's top-ten workforce development programs. Yet, Pueblo women are being left behind. In Pueblo County, a family with one adult and one preschooler needs to earn $37,181 a year in order to meet their basic needs. More than 29 percent of working age households - over 10,981 households - in Pueblo County have income inadequate to meet their basic needs. This isn’t just a devastating statistic – it’s a missed opportunity for all of Colorado. WFCO is working to change that through the power of our community, philanthropy, and impact.

In addition to our educational events and volunteer activity, The Women’s Foundation of Colorado awards grants to organizations in Pueblo County like the Pueblo Community College Foundation. We partner with them to provide scholarships and other support to women to earn their degree for in-demand career fields
