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.
