We’re just days away from Colorado Gives Day, and the Educational Foundation of the Colorado Society of CPAs is excited to invite you to join us in making a life-changing impact on Colorado’s future accountants.

Why This Matters

Since its founding in 1958, the Educational Foundation has provided more than $2.4 million in scholarships to aspiring CPAs across Colorado. These scholarships have helped undergraduate, graduate, and transfer accounting students overcome financial barriers and pursue their professional goals with confidence.

But rising tuition costs and economic uncertainty are making access to higher education harder than ever. That’s why your support matters now more than ever.

Your Gift Goes Further Than Ever — Thanks to Matching Donors

This Colorado Gives Day, we are honored to have five generous matching donors:

• Mira J. Finé, CPA, and Mary E. Medley, IOM
• Mark and Victoria Smith Family Foundation
• Angela Roberts – Activity, LLC, and Mindset of Leadership, David Loucks, and Ron and Lynette Goodrich
• Xero
• Deloitte

Their commitment means:

Every dollar you give can go up to five times further in supporting students pursuing accounting degrees in Colorado.

Whether you donate $25 or $2,500, your contribution is magnified — offering critical support where it’s needed most.

Real Stories — Real Impact

Scholarships aren’t just numbers. They change lives. Here’s what some of our former recipients have shared:

“The financial support gave me the freedom to focus on school instead of worrying about how to afford it.”

“This scholarship gave me the confidence to keep going — to believe there is a place for me in this profession.”

“Your support didn’t just help me finish my degree. It helped me see a future I didn’t think was possible.”

These are more than grateful reflections — they’re stories of opportunity, resilience, and hope.

• Donate now, before Colorado Gives Day, and ensure your gift counts and unlocks the matching multiplier.
