Launching The Station: Community Coworking by Moonshot! A not-so-small step for Moonshot, and one giant leap for our community! We dreamed up a coworking space made for us, by us: a place to foster new collaborations, create opportunities for community gatherings, and, most importantly, provide a safe and joyful space for people to work!

Moonshot's mission is to grow a community of BIPOC & historically marginalized leaders with the skills and resources to design collaborative solutions that disrupt systemic inequities impacting youth. Since 2017, Moonshot has supported over 115 leaders in education, the arts, policy, and more.

We're deepening our impact this year by launching The Station, a new coworking space in Metro Denver for social justice focused organizations or consultants, small or startup non-profit youth-serving organizations, and BIPOC led organizations. 

We’re running a campaign to help us launch The Station and to make our space as accessible as soon as possible for leaders and organizations working within our communities. We're seeking to raise $30,000 between now and December 10, 2024 (Colorado Gives Day). Your support will assist us with our first year start up costs and help us bring in more innovators into the space.

Your Donation = Tangible Impact!
$50
Give a start-up leader a two-day pass to The Station, a collaborative space to network, learn, and drive their projects forward. In addition to a desk, day pass users can use meeting rooms to do an off-site with a team or run a pilot program. 
$250
Provide a social justice organization with the essential workspace they need. A one-month membership at The Station provides dedicated workspace, access to a network of fellow leaders, and invitations to community events and lunches. 
$500
Celebrate and uplift BIPOC artistry by helping us hire a local artist to transform The Station into a vibrant and inclusive space. Your contribution helps us create an environment where everyone feels valued and represented—a place that fosters creativity, connection, and inspiration for all who enter. 
$1,000
Sponsor (3) one-month memberships at The Station for three Moonshot Fellows  who are in a critical building phase and need a focused, consistent and joyful workspace and a community with other leaders in the same phase. 
$5,000
Help us cover essential start-up costs to make our space fully functional and welcoming for everyone. Your foundational support will help set up our technology infrastructure, provide convenient printing services, and install a security system to ensure peace of mind for our community. 


Donating here through our Colorado Gives Campaign, especially if you do a recurring donation, enables us to qualify for incredible match benefits and other fundraising prizes from the Colorado Gives Foundation, potentially doubling your impact. Thank you for considering helping us launch The Station, and we can't wait to welcome you in-person soon! 

Giving Activity

Mission

Moonshot believes that if we invest in growing and mobilizing a community of local, historically marginalized leaders and support them with the skills, network, and resources to disrupt systemic inequities, we can transform outcomes for youth most on the margins.

VISION: Equity-driven leaders embedded in the community are cultivating systems and environments for youth on the margins to thrive.

MISSION: Grow a community of BIPOC & historically marginalized leaders with the skills and resources to design collaborative solutions that disrupt systemic inequities impacting youth.

Since 2017, Moonshot has supported over 110 leaders. Of these Fellows, 85% identify as people of color, and 65% identify as women or non-binary. Moonshot Fellows have impacted an estimated 15,000 students, and this number grows every year.

We support these leaders through our flagship program, the Moonshot Innovation Space (formerly known as the Moonshot Fellowship). The Moonshot Innovation Space is a 9-month program for innovative leaders in the Metro Denver area who are working to positively impact youth across a variety of sectors such as education, healthcare, local government, environment/sustainability, housing, food, the arts, and more. During the program, Moonshot Fellows participate in a variety of weekly workshops and hands-on learning on subjects like leadership, planning pilots, creating budgets, designing practices of self-care, and collaborating with community members.
