Grant Recipient Story
“Participation in True North ’s programs has impacted me positively every time. I feel like it is beneficial to experience fun opportunities with people that you aren ’t used to being around. All of True North ’s programs are very diverse with many different personalities, but the activities that they offer are also very diverse. Being a part of all the True North programs that I have has taught me how to be open-minded with trying new experiences that I might not have done if it weren’t for the program. "
Norwood Student Participant of the True North Youth Program, which is a 2026 LCLT Grantee
“To preserve and enrich the communities of Norwood, Redvale, and the wider Wright’s Mesa through raising funds for current and future needs.”
This is the first time in history that the communities of Wright’s Mesa have had an endowment to invest 100% in our own future. The Lone Cone Legacy Trust provides a vehicle for anyone and everyone to support the future of our community. Those who live n Wright’s Mesa know it is a special place with unique challenges, and, with your support, we can help to secure its future and enrich the lives of the people who reside here.
No donation is too small or too large. All money raised will be used in our local community. The Wright’s Mesa area is home to breathtaking views, numerous outdoor activities, and, most importantly, wonderful people. We have all benefited from living in the community. The funds will support community development projects and grants to local nonprofits.
To achieve our goals, we have partnered with the Telluride Foundation to create and grow an endowment. Working with the Foundation allows us to maximize our investments and tap additional resources, all while maintaining local control over grantmaking and distributions.
The Lone Cone Legacy Trust board is dedicated to increasing the quality of life for Wright’s Mesa residents. In October, the Lone Cone Legacy Trust awarded $26,000 to 22 organizations serving the area as part of its annual grant program. The 2026 grant recipients include FRESH Foundation, Norwood Parks & Recreation, San Miguel Basin CSU 4-H Council, Lone Cone Dressage Club, Hoof and Paw, the Lone Cone Library, Norwood School District, True North Youth Program, Ute Trail Study Club, Pinhead Institute, San Miguel Resource Center, Town of Norwood, San Miguel Basin Fair, Uncompahgre Medical Center, Telluride Chamber Music, and Thrive Community Health Network. With funding from the Lone Cone Legacy Trust, these organizations will be able to implement initiatives ranging from youth development and education to sexual assault victim services in our community. Your donation will help us to increase the amount we can award to causes such as these each year.
Our goal for Colorado Gives is to raise $10,000. Even a small donation of $5, $30, or $100 will make a difference. If you believe in the future of our community, please consider getting involved or making a contribution.
