Women & Philanthropy

Empowering Women Through

Passion, Purpose, Philanthropy

Women and Philanthropy at Colorado State University’s mission is to connect and empower a community to elevate women and philanthropy at CSU. It was designed as University Advancement’s response to President Tony Frank’s charge to make CSU the best place for women to work and learn. Philanthropy is a vital to the overall success of supporting this charge and the University’s land-grant mission.
