wfco Volunteer Opportunities

How to Give Your Time, Talent, Treasure, and Testimony

As a community foundation, most of our impact is achieved through the collective impact of generous donations, collaborative efforts, and strategic partnerships in public policy advocacy, research, and grantmaking. Volunteer opportunities with WFCO are sporadic, however, dozens of volunteers help out with our Annual Luncheon each fall, our direct service grantmaking committee reviews applications annually for our WAGES grantee cohort, a committee of diverse community members reviews applications annually for The Greater Vail Valley Women's Fund, and our statewide regional committees in Boulder, Colorado Springs, Northern Colorado, Pueblo, and the Vail Valley are made up of dedicated local volunteers.

To volunteer at our Annual Luncheon, please contact Kristina Vaio at kristinav@wfco.org. To find out how you can support our regional committee events, please contact Renee Ferrufino at reneef@wfco.org.

Don't forget that sharing our research, coming to our events, and advocating for issues with your legislators are ways you can informally volunteer to help move the needle for Colorado women and their families.

Volunteer with a direct service grantee

We encourage those wanting to give their time and talent to advance Colorado women and their families more frequently to explore volunteer opportunities with our direct service grantees.
