The Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment
EIN# 84-1169001
In July 2023, the Emily Griffith Foundation launched the Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment with an initial $2.5 million in assets. This marked a major step toward permanent, dedicated support for students and programs at Emily Griffith Technical College. Since then, EGF has refined its disbursement process and partnered closely with the College to ensure every dollar is used with purpose.
The endowment was built with one clear priority: students. Its structure prevents the use of funds for general operations or overhead, which guarantees that every distribution goes directly to student support and program growth. This approach strengthens Emily Griffith Foundation’s long term impact and helps secure the future of workforce education in Colorado.

Break cycles of poverty by creating paths to upward mobility
Fuel industries that rely on a diverse and trained workforce
