Donate to WGST!
The University of Colorado Boulder’s Women Studies Program was first established in 1974. Although the women studies curriculum began in 1974, it was not until 1983 that the program was able to offer students a non-independently structured major in women studies. Today, this dynamic interdisciplinary Department of Women and Gender Studies offers degrees and courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels along with sponsoring a diverse range of events on campus in collaboration with other departments, offering a rigorous honors program, and promoting annual student and faculty speaker events. There are many programs, scholarships, and events to help fund at WGST. For any questions about giving and our program, contact us at WGST@colorado.EDU for more information.

The Karen Raforth Scholarship was created to help support students who show an aptitude for leadership and involvement with LGBTQIA issues. Dr. Karen Raforth as a University psychologist and assistant director for UCB Counseling Services was instrumental in helping create and administer many successful ongoing educational and social programs that were a major force in making the climate for LGBTQIA students positive and welcoming. This award honors the work and leadership of Dr. Karen Raforth, who spent years devoting her time and talent to the LGBTQIA community at CU Boulder.

The Evan Wolfson Prize in LGBTQ Studies recognizes the outstanding work of an undergraduate student at University of Colorado Boulder whose sole-author paper or creative work deals with LGBTQ issues, broadly defined. The Wolfson Prize, named to honor the work and impact of gay rights activism, was established and made possible through the generous gifts provided by Thomas Stephens (University of Colorado, class of 1974) and Todd Enders.
This fund was created to provide stipends to students pursuing unpaid or below-market-pay internships with organizations that support the LGBTQ community. The annual award is named after the late Thomas R. Stephens, the attorney, author, artist, and gay rights philanthropist to organizations such as Freedom to Marry, Human Rights Campaign, and Lamdba Legal Defense Fund. His award is made possible by Tom’s husband and soulmate, Todd Enders.
