Ian Bennett's Local Change Fundraising Page

We believe in building a stronger, more connected Front Range. That’s why Jill and I started the Bennett Family Scholarship -- a fund focused on helping students afford trade schools and alternative education paths that are often overlooked but deeply needed.

I first joined the Elevations Foundation staff council when I was interested in showing up in a way that I could to support the mission of bringing people and resources together to strengthen our community while at work. After years on the council, I took the next step and joined the Local Change Foundation board a few years back, where I now serve as fundraising chair. You know how competitive I am, which is why I'm asking you to donate to my fundraiser for Local Change and help me keep my #1 spot -- I am raising money to be able to support even more students, even more nonprofit grants and support even more families through our Down Payment Assistance program. 

The counties we work in are some of the most generous we’ve seen, and we know that spirit of giving can be harnessed to do even more. Our scholarship is our way of investing in the next generation—and we invite you to join us. Let’s shape a future where every student has the opportunity to lead, contribute, and thrive.
