<div><strong>Our Story</strong>
</div>
<div>Jessica Brown founded The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) in 2017 to support underserved minority students within Washington, DC by providing them their first experience with college, educational programs, scholarships, recreational programs, and mentorship opportunities that create life-changing experiences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since 2017, CGF has a proven track record of success in Washington, DC by partnering with AT&amp;T, Dark &amp; Lovely, DC DOES Office of Youth Program, and the Department of Parks and Recreation. As a result of the impactful work, CGF has awarded over $150,000 in scholarships, has a 100% graduation rate from high school, 90% enrollment in college, and 10% of our students have secured professional careers.

</div>
<div><strong>Our Goal</strong>
</div>
<div>The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) is raising funds for our annual life-changing college tour. The goal of this tour is to inspire underserved minority DMV students to pursue higher education opportunities as many of our students are the first in their families to consider college.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, we aim to provide<strong> 26 students </strong>the opportunity to attend this exciting trip as we visit 6 institutions in the Southeast region,<strong> </strong>giving them a real-world experience of campus life and the possibilities that higher education can offer. <strong>We are hoping to raise $50,000 to cover for travel, lodging, activities, and food accommodations.</strong> Our students are from underserved areas within the Washington Metropolitan area. Hence, without CGF they will not have the opportunity to experience this.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>Your Impact</strong>
</div>
<div>Your support makes it possible for us to continue this vital work and ensure that every student has the opportunity to achieve their dreams. This college tour is a powerful experience that has helped many students envision and achieve their goal of attending college, breaking down barriers and opening doors to future opportunities.
