Capacity Building is SEXY (and essential).
When dollars are tight, it’s tempting to cut what doesn’t look “essential.” But capacity-building work is essential. Just as you wouldn’t build a bridge without engineers, you can’t expect nonprofits to thrive without infrastructure to hold them up.
The Network provides education and resources to support nonprofits at all stages.
Sometimes this is one-on-one intervention, a workshop, a responsive email, or a guest presentation at a board meeting. We are well-informed, have a rolodex of experts to call on, and do whatever it takes to support our local Industry.
Invest in the people of The Network.
Cato, Alison, and Karen have collectively worked at the Network for over 20 years. They understand the nuances of the Estes Valley and genuinely care about the 100+ nonprofits that serve this community...now and into our future.
If nonprofits aren't supported by The Estes Nonprofit Network, they will falter, and the community will suffer from a decline in services.
The Network makes the Industry more resilient through training, data, collaboration, advocacy, and initiatives like the Giving Guest Program that channels tourist dollars into local services. We are the backbone for the backbone.
In the current funding landscape, The Network must rely more on individual donors.
The entire system is under strain, and the Network feels it too. Costs keep rising. Grants and donations are shrinking. Government programs are being cut, and requests for Foundation support have increased. The Network must shift its income matrix and rely more on individual donors who "get" that you need the engineer behind the bridge.
The truth is simple: Strong Nonprofits = Strong Community.
A gift to the Estes Nonprofit Network is a gift to serve and strengthen all nonprofits in Estes.
The mission of the Estes Nonprofit Network is to serve and strengthen the Estes Valley nonprofit industry by providing education, resources, and collaboration opportunities.
Our vision is a unified nonprofit industry that creates meaningful, lasting impact within the Estes Valley.
Strong Nonprofits. Strong Community.
The Estes Nonprofit Network (formerly the Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center (EPNRC) was imagined in 2001 by two individuals who realized the needs of nonprofit organizations in the Estes Valley. Over the next few years, these individuals recruited other dedicated individuals with various expertise and experience with the third sector. The EPNRC was incorporated in the State of Colorado and received its 501(c)(3) IRS designation in January 2003. Since the beginning, The Network has acted as catalysts by providing education, information and resources to nonprofit organizations and their boards, staff and volunteers. In 2010, the organization hired its first professional paid staff. In 2013 educational offerings expanded threefold and 2014, three innovative and collaborative programs were added: Mountain Strong for Nonprofits (a short term program in direct response to needs of flood recovery; since has served its purpose and dissolved), the Estes Valley Legacy Program, and The Community Give Back Program. Since 2015 EPNRC has seen tremendous growth in individual donations, a testament to our value in the community. In 2021, The Network introduced the Giving Guest Program, which partners with local businesses to leverage tourism dollars for the benefit of philanthropy. We continue to be responsive, resilient, and resourceful.
