Information for Funders

AdvanceEDU is proud of our growing list of generous philanthropic supporters. Their funding has helped hundreds of Colorado students advance in their education and careers. We rely on the ongoing backing of our donors to help make higher education accessible and affordable to all.

Your gift goes directly to students and is doubled through Colorado’s COSI Achieve match, up to $50,000 annually.

$1,000 funds a student scholarship for one year.

Any amount, one-time or monthly, helps
AdvanceEDU grow, reaching more students with
the coaching and career support that carry them
to graduation.

Giving through a donor-advised fund or IRA?

We welcome grants from any donor-advised fund and IRA qualified charitable distributions (QCDs).

On our donation pages, the DAF option is a quick way to give through Fidelity Charitable, BNY Charitable or DAFgiving360. Giving through another sponsor, such as a Community foundation? We welcome those grants too. Use the grant details in the box. Please note “Scholarship Fund” or “General Fund” in your grant memo so we can direct your gift and thank you.

Thank you to the partners that stand with Colorado students!
