The Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment

EIN# 84-1169001

Emily Griffith Foundation launched the Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment in 2023 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.

The Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment is a restricted endowment that was built with one clear priority: students. This approach strengthens Emily Griffith Foundation’s long term impact and helps secure the future of workforce education in Colorado.

Why It Matters

For more than a century, Emily Griffith Technical College has opened doors for Coloradans through accessible education and career training. The Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment ensures that this legacy continues far into the future. Your support helps:

  • Expand access to career training for underserved students

  • Strengthen Colorado’s skilled talent pipeline

  • Create paths to upward mobility for students

  • Fuel industries that rely on a diverse and trained workforce

A stronger workforce lifts families, employers, and communities. The endowment keeps that momentum moving.

Assets of the Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment are held at Rose Community Foundation and The Denver Foundation. Please reach out for specific information about how to give to the Emily Griffith Opportunity Endowment through these community foundations.
