RESOURCES

We really want to focus on our home community. Local charities are so well run and we can really make a difference here.
At the Western Colorado Community Foundation, we believe one of the most important factors in successful philanthropic efforts is coordination. People can’t work together if they don’t know who else is involved. Here, we have tried to make a list of some of the organizations helping to make each of the seven counties we serve great places to live.
Click the tabs below to see a list of organizations serving within that county.
