COLORADO GIVES DAY
December 10, 2019
|
|
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.
|
|
As of this email we have raised nearly $5,000 in pre-scheduled donations, from 17 generous donors.

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.

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.

Do you know a high school senior in Grand County?
|
|
Are they interested in pursuring land and resource conservation and/or management in their college or professional careers?
If so, they should apply for the Carolyn Hackman Education Fund Scholarship! It is the privilege of the Colorado Headwaters Land Trust to offer a total of $2000 in scholarships to graduating Grand County high school seniors!
.
This funding is available due to a donor’s request to create the Carolyn Hackman Education Fund for students of Grand County who wish to increase their knowledge of land conservation and management and carry such knowledge into their adult years.

Have a great Thanksgiving holiday! We are so thankful for having such a warm and supportive community, dedicated to the preservation and stewardship of our open lands in Grand County.

Today is World Kindness Day, emphasizing the simple act of kindness - so of course we had to find a piece of
#wednesdaywisdom
that incorporated both kindness, and nature! This quote from aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart beautifully links the two.
Go outside today - it might be getting chilly, but our love for this land never ends, regardless of weather! There are blue skies above and open lands beyond for us to appreciate and explore.
