In '15 @ConPhilCo made a collaborative grant to @DenverMuseumNS, @DenverArtMuseum & #ChildrensMuseumofDenver to support completion of a 12‐month planning grant to better understand and serve the communities that were not accessing museum programming. The result? Promotoras!

Early @ConPhilCo grantee @newlegacychartr provides engaging education to young parents, and the early learning center allows for impact at both generations. Funding from members led to demonstrated growth on comprehensive measures of healthy #childdevelopment & #schoolreadiness!

Curious who the FIRST ever grantee was for Constellation? @RISEColorado! Constellation supported RISE in 2014 to scale their work, which serves to Educate, Engage, and Empower low-income families and families of color to RISE as change agents for educational equity.
