The work never stops
Colorado Gives Day is December 5 this year. This has always been an important day of giving for our Alliance, and we hope you will remember us when you are planning your end-of-year giving. 2023 has been a big year for us. We’ve settled into new headquarters, added staff, and scored significant victories on several fronts. That’s why we succeed in bringing together people from nearly every walk of life!
And the work doesn’t stop. Just in the past few days, we’ve continued to make important steps toward a more healthy, just, and self-reliant Western Colorado. Our recent Farmer Grant-Writing Workshop was a huge success, bringing more than 50 local farmers and ranchers together to learn about grant opportunities for local farms from grant-writing and agricultural experts. This is but one example of the sort of work our Alliance is doing EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
We hope you will participate this Colorado Gives Day and schedule your gift for December 5. Or, if you prefer, you can make a donation today! If you have already given, thank you so much! And if you are one of the special people who not only donate but who give of your time as an Alliance volunteer or leader, we truly hold you in our hearts. It’s you who makes our Alliance great, and we honor your caring.
Emily stepped up as our staff director in 2017, but originally joined our team as a community organizer in 2013. Born and raised on the Western Slope, Emily graduated from Colorado State University and then had the privilege of learning from and working alongside organizers in Central and South America as well as Appalachian coal country. They returned to their home state to protect the land they love and work with fellow Coloradans for a healthy, just and self-reliant future for our rural communities. Emily enjoys organizing, exploring the Colorado Plateau, country music and punk concerts with equal passion.
