Support Our Mission
Whether you realize it or not, you are already experiencing the effects of climate change. You’ve seen the river close in the summer when the water gets too warm. You chose not to go for that hike because the air was too smokey. Or, you’ve worried about your house flooding in the spring when the snow melts too fast. The impacts of climate change are here now, and they will continue to worsen if we don’t act today. When you join our community of supporters, together, our local actions can have global benefits.
Your generous gift preserves all that you love about the Yampa Valley. When you ride your favorite mountain bike trail, see a family of moose in your neighborhood, or take your first ski run of the season, remember that you protected it all. Today, you join hundreds of others just like you who are opening their hearts to all that makes this valley home.
There are more ways than one to give!
Donor-Advised Fund
A donor-advised fund is a tool for charitable giving that allows you to take advantage of the tax benefits up front while giving you time to be thoughtful about where your donations will have the greatest impact. It’s an excellent way to both simplify your charitable giving and facilitate your strategic philanthropic goals. Ready to set up your own fund?
