June 5, 2023, Denver, CO – It’s an exciting time for Parent Possible, a Colorado-based nonprofit that promotes early childhood development and school readiness through parent empowerment. A $1 million surprise donation from MacKenzie Scott will significantly bolster their efforts to provide high-quality programming and support to parents and caregivers.
With these funds Parent Possible will enhance and expand its evidence-based parent education programs, increase access to family supports, and further strengthen partnerships with community organizations.
