Peaks to People Water Fund

Keep the Light of Collaboration Shining Bright

In Northern Colorado, Peaks to People Water Fund is igniting a movement of collaboration and hope. Through the Big Thompson Watershed Health Partnership (BTWHP), we unite communities, watershed coalitions, fire districts, local governments, and state and federal agencies around a shared purpose: protecting what sustains us all—clean water, healthy forests, and safe communities.

Our Impact

As convener, connector and facilitator, Peaks to People fills and essential yet often unseen role. We build trust, maintain momentum, and help partners collaborate effectively across a complex landscape. We believe in the quiet power of connection—the kind that fosters relationships, sparks action, and keeps collective efforts alive.

Why Donate?

With your support we can continue to lead the BTWHP and sustain the behind the scenes work that makes all the difference: 

• Bringing people together across agencies, nonprofits and communities to align wildfire mitigation and watershed resilience efforts.
• Building trust and cooperation that lead to real, on-the-ground results.
• Guiding shared strategies that protect our forests, water and communities for generations to come.

What Makes Us Unique

By fostering transparent, inclusive, and positive collaboration, Peaks to People ensures that when challenges arise—whether conflicting priorities or wildfire emergencies—partners can respond quickly and effectively. Strong relationships make coordinated action possible when it matters most.

At Peaks to People, we help others do the work that protects us all. We connect, coordinate, and amplify—so the light of many can shine brighter together.

The need is great. The moment is urgent. Join Us in Making a Difference.
