About Us

The Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation, or the Family Foundation as it is known to its members, was founded in 1980. The original goal of the Foundation was to assist in the education of dependent children or widows of officers killed in the line of duty. Since that time, the Foundation has expanded its role, providing financial assistance to the children of deceased members of the Association of Colorado State Patrol Professionals. To date, the CSPFF has assisted over 25 children or widows achieve their higher education Goals. The Colorado State Patrol Family Foundation also provides “Holiday Funds” for the orphaned children of a Trooper killed in the line of duty. Additionally, the CSPFF provides $1,000 to the family of any law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty in Colorado.

The CSPFF has established a scholarship fund in memory of Technician Lyle F. Wohlers. View more information about this and other scholarships.

In keeping with its mission to promote and ensure safe travel on Colorado’s roads and highways, the CSPFF recently expanded its scope of service to include a variety of educational programs not only for members of the Association of Colorado State Patrol Professionals, but for the general public as well. For example, the CSPFF is working with the Colorado State Patrol to offer Alive at 25, a nationally-recognized, award-winning defensive driving program for young drivers.

The CSPFF Board of Directors thanks those who support the Foundation; it is their kind contributions that make it possible to offer these academic scholarships and expanding educational opportunities. The Board would especially like to recognize and thank the participants of the Colorado Grand and the Colonel’s Golf Challenge for their continuing support and generosity.
