January 2021 – Climate Hero of the Month

This month we are celebrating our amazing matching committee! This wonderful group of donors pooled together to support thousands of Colorado donors by doubling or tripling their donations.

2020 was a difficult year for many. From layoffs, kids at home, losing loved ones, and so much more, the struggles of last year will forever shape our lives. As we headed into our end of the year fundraiser, our most critical moment in the year to determine what kind of work we can do in 2021, we were unsure what capacity our donors would have to give this year.

As a small grassroots organization, over 86% of the donations we receive are $50 or under, showing the power of this movement as a group of everday people who want to make a positive difference in the world. In a time where many people can give less, our generous matching committee stepped up to the plate to bolster our hundreds of grassroots donors and help them make an even bigger impact by doubling or tripling donations!

That is why today we are celebrating our matching committee as our climate heroes of the month! 

Without the help of this amazing group of donors, our end of year fundraising efforts would have not been nearly as succesfull. This matching fund helped to recruit new donors and encouraged indivudals to give by showing them that they are supported by a vast network of passionate “forces of nature.”

Please join us in thanking and celebrating our 2020 End of Year Matching Committee:

To our matching committee, we cannot thank you enough for stepping up and showing your commitment to climate action. Your support of our efforts mean the world to us and provided an important support system for our community. You are a true force of nature and thanks to your generosity we skyrocketed past our goal, raising over $100,000 that will allow us to ramp up at even faster speeds than we thought possible and ensure 2021 will forever be remembered as the year of climate action!

THANK YOU!
