Colorado Gives Day 2022
Colorado's own day of giving, Colorado Gives Day, is coming up Tuesday, December 6! Don't forget to schedule your donation and join Coloradans in a common goal to strengthen the state’s nonprofits by giving to their favorite charities online. This year, Grand County residents can donate to 22 different nonprofits and fundraisers by visiting www.coloradogives.org/community/Grandcountygives.

Give where you live and protect our common ground this year by prescheduling your Colorado Gives Day donation today at www.coloradogives.org/organization/coloradoheadwaterslandtrust or by clicking the donate button below!
Every gift is tax-deductible and helps us reach our goal of $325,000 to support our mission and The Granby Highlands Trails Conservation Easement project. There will be an an option to direct your donation to the project or to support our general funds and operations.
The Granby Highlands Trails Conservation Easement will permanently conserve:

  • approximately 780 acres of vital wildlife habitat and scenic and recreational open space

  • 2 miles of Colorado River

  • 10 miles of proposed trails

... and all just 2 miles from downtown Granby!
Want to make a big impact by conserving and stewarding the land we love across Grand County? Become a monthly donor!
When you join Colorado Headwaters Land Trust’s monthly donor program, you will become a part of a special group of people supporting us each month to care for the wildlife, the vistas, the waterways, and the agricultural history that make Grand County so special.

Ready to join our monthly giving community? Click here to set up your recurring donation at any amount.

If now is not the time for you to commit to giving monthly, that’s ok! Your one-time donation still makes a difference.
