Women's 104 Leadership Circle
The Women’s 104 Leadership Circle is a group within Women’s Leadership that focuses on support for Mile High United Way’s transformational housing programs. These programs offer housing for formerly homeless families, and require residents to participate in intensive financial literacy and savings programs. After five years, the residents have the assets and the knowledge to purchase their own home.
We invite Mile High United Way’s Women’s Leadership to give an additional $104 in order to become a member of the Women’s 104 Leadership Circle. Our goal is to raise $750,000 for transformational housing programs over the next four years.
If you are interested in becoming a Women's 104 Leadership Circle member, click here to make your $104 donation. If you have questions, contact Cheryl Lucero at 303-561-2352.
