Colorado Gives Day is a massive, state-wide fundraising day for all participating nonprofits. It began 10 years ago and continues to be a unifying event throughout the community, providing a single day (not to mention the run-up month) for everyone to show their generous support for the organizations and causes we each hold dear.

Head over to our CO Gives Day page to read more, and donate! Last year we raised over $18,000 - a new record for us. Help us beat last year's record and bring us to an even $20k! Every dollar will be increased proportionally from a $1.5 million 'Incentive Fund" by FirstBank, so even just $20 can go a long way.

Colorado Headwaters Land Trust is a proud member of Grand County Gives, as well, which is the county coalition of nonprofits working together to raise awareness for each of us, and all of us.

We had a great turnout for the Grand County Gives Rally on Tuesday, December 03! The group of 24 nonprofits went around the county, starting at Big Shooter Coffee in Kremmling (where Jeremy posed with our sign), spending lunch outside Deno's in Winter Park, and ending with happy hour at Brickhouse 40 in Granby, to raise awareness for each organization and the businesses that support us, as well as for Colorado Gives Day! You can find more information about Grand County Gives and the participating nonprofits by visiting the campaign's CO Gives Day page.

This year we ran a recruitment campaign for our Board of Directors , and it was very successful! We are now at 10 members, ranging in experience, location, demographics, and conservation ethic. If you are interested in joining the Board in the future, please contact the office .

Dr. Kelli Archie  is an environmental social scientist, and has spent the past 12 years as an academic in New Zealand and the USA studying climate change adaptation and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Climate Change, Geography, Environmental Science, and Environmental Studies. She earned a PhD and MS in Environmental Studies from the  University of Colorado Boulder  and a BA in Economics from  Colorado State University . As a native of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, she is particularly interested in alpine and mountainous regions and she has worked around the world in the United States, the Indian Himalayas, Vanuatu, and New Zealand. Kelli is excited to be a part of the non-profit world where she hopes her work can make a more tangible difference. Kelli currently lives on the side of a ski run in Grand County, Colorado, with her husband Tim, their four young daughters, and one very old dog. When not on the road learning as much as they can about our beautiful planet, the Archies can typically be found on or near a trail: skiing, biking, hiking, or rock climbing.

Lisa Leclair Waldorf  grew up in New England and moved to Grand County in 1997 after a two-year stint in a teaching/travel program with a Boston-based company right out of college. After exploring teaching opportunities and finding no available positions for which to use her Liberal Arts degree, Lisa switched gears per the advice of a friend and obtained her real estate license in 1999. Lisa is a founding partner at Real Estate of Winter Park and has 20+ years of sales experience in Grand County. Lisa is an advocate for smart growth and open space and trails preservation; she and her family enjoy just about every outdoor recreation opportunity in the area, from skiing to biking to rafting. While much of Lisa and husband Steve’s free time now involves traveling with 12-year-old Henry and 10-year-old Janie to hockey games, practices, and tournaments, she still loves to volunteer with local non-profits as much as possible. She currently sits on the Fraser Valley Recreation Foundation Board and assists with grant writing and fundraising for a half-dozen other 501c3s, most of which are education and recreation-focused.
