Matching Grant Announcement

Together, We Achieved an Incredible Milestone!

Dear CNMA Community,


We are thrilled to share some amazing news! The Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) made a $60,000 matching grant a reality for Colorado National Monument Association (CNMA). From September 1 to December 31, 2024, WCCF matched every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $60,000β€”and thanks to your generosity, we surpassed this ambitious goal! We raised over $66,000 which means over $126,000 with this matching grant!


A Heartfelt Message from Our Team:

"I honestly wasn't sure it was possible to reach $60,000 after already receiving so many generous contributions earlier this year as part of our 60th-anniversary celebration. I am astounded by the unwavering support from our community, and we are profoundly grateful. These funds will create a lasting impact in 2025 and beyond."


This achievement is a testament to the incredible support from donors like you and the partnership with WCCF. These funds will help us continue critical initiatives, including:

  • Resiliency and education programming for our community.
  • Natural resource internships.
  • Trail work and historic preservation.
  • Funding for seasonal Colorado National Monument employees.
  • Ensuring CNMA's next 60 years of support of our monument.


Thank you all for making this possible and a huge thanks to WCCF for supporting our community in such incredible ways! Together, we are building a stronger, more sustainable future for the Colorado National Monument and our community.


With gratitude,

Johanna van Waveren

CNMA Executive Director
