The College Gurl Foundation inspires underserved minorities to pursue higher education opportunities
The College Gurl Foundation inspires underserved minorities to pursue higher education opportunities.

The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) was founded by Jessica Brown 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.
About The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) and college tour
Since 2017, CGF has partnered with AT&T, Dark & 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.
GoFundMe
The College Gurl Foundation (CGF) is raising funds for the annual 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,” the GoFundMe reads.
This year, the organization aims to provide 26 students the opportunity to attend the 6 institution visit tour in the Southeast region, giving them a real-world experience of campus life and the possibilities that higher education can offer.
“We are hoping to raise $50,000 to cover for travel, lodging, activities, and food accommodations. Our students are from underserved areas within the Washington Metropolitan area. Hence, without CGF they will not have the opportunity to experience this.”
For this initiative, CGF has started a GoFundMe. If you wish to support this worthy cause, please visit the fundraiser here.
