Building Beautiful Futures
Closing the Opportunity Gap

The College Gurl Foundation’s Building Beautiful Futures Program is dedicated to bridging the opportunity gap for minority collegiate women. Since partnering with Dark & Lovely in 2022, CGF has awarded scholarships totaling $125,000 to over 150 women across the nation, empowering them to pursue higher education and professional growth.
​
In addition to scholarships, the program hosts transformative experiences such as the Making Bold Moves Masterclass and the Play in Color Masterclass, designed to inspire young women to dare to be different, embrace their uniqueness, and pursue their goals fearlessly. Through this initiative, CGF provides the tools, guidance, and encouragement needed for minority women to build successful, confident, and fulfilling futures.
