Soroptimist International of Fort Collins has a proud history of sharing our service funds to help females of all ages, at different points of life, globally as well as locally.

SIFC strives to contribute about 20% of our service funds to global efforts while keeping 80% in our local community. When we talk about global efforts we’re including support for our Rocky Mountain Region’s Governor’s Project, support of our Federation through Club Giving, and support of International efforts on behalf of women.
