Colorado Gives Day is a time when hundreds of thousands of people give to their chosen causes and deep-held values. According to the 2023 State of the Rockies report, over 70% of Coloradans support conservation efforts that protect our precious natural resources. Will you choose to help protect nature with a donation to the Conservation Lands Foundation?
You may already know that we are seizing the greatest opportunity to accelerate the protection of valuable and vulnerable landscapes across Colorado and the West – places known for their ecological integrity, cultural significance, and climate resilience.
Last year CLF provided significant support to protect more than 870,000 acres of the North Fork Valley region of Colorado from massive oil and gas development, which was not only a significant win for public lands but for the local communities whose long-time cries for conservation of the area had gone ignored. Nature won!
Next year, a critical goal for CLF is to establish the Dolores River Canyon National Monument in Colorado. Your gift will help propel a powerful and diverse group of supporters of this campaign including Indigenous communities, businesses, farmers, ranchers, elected officials, and recreationists who all love this wild and rugged corner of the state. In fact, 84% of Coloradans support a national monument for the Dolores.
Protect nature by donating today!

Mission
As the only nonprofit in the country solely dedicated to protecting the National Conservation Lands, our mission is to protect, restore and expand the National Conservation Lands through education, advocacy and partnerships.
Background Statement
Though less well-known and more remote than other popular public lands, National Conservation Lands represent our nation’s natural, cultural and outdoor heritage and help drive its $887 billion outdoor recreation economy that directly supports 7.6 million American jobs.
You can hike, hunt, fish, camp and bring your dog on National Conservation Lands.
They are managed by the the largest caretaker of public lands in America, Bureau of Land Management, and include:
-National Monuments and National Conservation Areas
-Wilderness and Wilderness Study Areas
-Wild and Scenic Rivers
-National Scenic and Historic Trails
-Cooperative management and protection areas, outstanding natural area and forest reserves
We acknowledge that the land on which our home office is located and where members of our staff live and execute our business is the original land of the Utes–Nuuchiu–the longest continuous residents of Colorado.
