Each December, Coloradans come together with the common goal to strengthen the community by helping to power nonprofits. Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, December 7, and features a $1 Million+ Incentive Fund. Every nonprofit receiving a donation on Colorado Gives Day receives a portion of the fund, increasing impact and the value of every dollar donated. Colorado Gives Day has grown to be Colorado’s largest one-day online giving event, raising more than $307 million since it began in 2010.

As we embark upon the holidays and year-end giving season, we hope you will accept this invitation to make the gift of sustainability part of your year-end contributions and New Year’s resolutions. As the only integrated sustainability-focused nonprofit organization in the Yampa Valley, we take it as our mission to both define and address the pressing sustainability issues of our time through our programs, partnerships and education pathways. Our underlying goal as an organization is to protect and sustain the natural and cultural assets of the Yampa Valley region; as our region continues to change, so too does the need for our work at YVSC.

Every dollar helps create change.  “The Yampa Valley Sustainability Council (YVSC) team continues to inspire us by continually demonstrating how to be part of an effort to achieve a global solution to climate change at a local level and encouraging others to join in.”  – Rob and Ellen Race, Yampa Valley Residents, YVSC Volunteers. This year, we encourage you to give where you live. Our fight to combat climate change is more vital now than ever before. Donating on Colorado Gives Day is one of the many ways you can make a real difference by helping us make our 2021 goal of raising $50,000. Schedule your donation today at  yvsc.org/cogives.
