Quotations from Past Participants:
GRANT MAKERS:
Two days of your time—is it worth it? YES! You’ll gain insight
about Northeast Colorado (learning about its economy, regional
issues, and what is on the horizon). You will also serve to help
call nonprofits, elected and government officials and other
leaders to assemble, build capacity and advance valuable
services. You will help strategize about serious opportunities
of importance to Northeast and enjoy the hospitality of the
region—the experience will pay off in many ways including making
wiser investments. So join in, you’ll be most welcome!
Jeff Pryor—Anschutz Foundation Effective fundraising is not just measured by how many
checks you receive but rather by how many relationships
you can foster. Rural Philanthropy Days (RPD) represents
an opportunity to raise funds, but more importantly, RPD
is a chance to build collaboration, expand
relationships, and strengthen the capacity of your
organization. To miss this exciting day and half event
is to miss the opportunity for long-term success.
Gabriel Guillaume, Executive Director, Community
Resource Center

NE Philanthropy Days provided the opportunity to network
with new foundations which generated new funding for our
organization. It also allowed us to build relationships
with foundations that currently fund Baby Bear Hugs. I
greatly value being able to get together with the
leaders of other nonprofits and organizations because I
always learn so much from them.”
Ruth Seedorf, Baby Bear Hugs Director
“Philanthropy Days is a fantastic way to not only get to
know many various funding organizations, but to network
with nonprofits from around the region. Philanthropy
Days helped our organization become more confident about
our grant requests. We discovered organizations in our
own backyard with whom we could collaborate with and
also new funders that shared our passion for the growth
and development of children ages 6 weeks to 12 years.
The Wray Community Child Care Center benefited from our
involvement in Philanthropy Days and we are so excited
it is back again.” Andrea Anderson, Board of Director, Chairperson
