Red Aspen Cares are our philanthropic initiatives dedicated to creating a positive and lasting impact through strategic partnerships, innovative initiatives, and compassionate actions. Our mission is to inspire women and others to pursue their passion in service of a greater purpose, with a focus on supporting women-related causes and empowering women to thrive.
Red Aspen is dedicated to uplifting our surrounding communities through meaningful engagement. Beyond financial contributions, we actively participate by volunteering, organizing events, and donating products that enrich and strengthen these communities. Our headquarters team leads the charge with quarterly initiatives that encourage team bonding and local volunteerism, while our Brand Ambassadors extend this mission by using provided kits to make a tangible difference in their own neighborhoods. Together, we strive to impact both local and national communities for the greater good.
Volunteerism
Through partnerships with local non-profits, our team actively participates in volunteer activities, contributing time and skills to support impactful initiatives. This hands-on involvement reflects our dedication to creating positive change beyond financial contributions.
Product Donations
As a beauty brand, we understand the profound impact of self-care and confidence on personal well-being. Our product donations provide non-profits with tools to support their missions, whether by empowering individuals to feel confident in professional or personal settings or offering moments of care and dignity to those in need.
In past years, we have donated +$130,000 in retail value of products to nonprofit organizations, including donations our field of Brand Ambassadors have donated on our behalf.
Partnerships & Donations
We are proud to have contributed over $176,500 in financial donations to local and national non-profits. Through partnerships with impactful organizations, like Boda Girls, or supporting causes that support women in various ways, such as breast cancer organizations, we are proud to create a lasting and positive impact through these non-profits.
Scholarships
Red Aspen Scholarships, through an endowment of $25,000 each, are available at both Boise State University and University of Idaho, local universities that are close to Red Aspen. These endowments will ensure that year after year, women pursuing degrees in Entrepreneurship will receive the support they need to grow, learn, and lead. The principal donation will remain invested, with annual awards granted to deserving recipients, allowing this initiative to continue for years to come.
These scholarships reflect our commitment to uplifting and empowering women on their journey—because when women are supported, they don’t just transform their own futures, they inspire and uplift others around them.
Meet the Recipients
This scholarship means so much to me because it eases the financial stress of pursuing my goals and allows me to focus on my future with excitement rather than worry. Knowing that others believe in me gives me the confidence to keep pushing forward, and one day, I hope to support others in the same way.

It empowers me to pursue my ambitions in a field where women remain underrepresented, driving change and paving the way for future generations.
