The Southwest Rural Philanthropy Days (SW RPD) Listening Tour took place on February 5-7, 2014 and gathered over 100 community leaders and executive staff from ten Colorado foundations and government agencies. This delegation, convened by the Community Resource Center and the SW RPD Steering Committee, sought to better inform statewide funding agencies of the opportunities and challenges in the communities of southwest Colorado.
The results of these listening sessions are shaping the structure of the upcoming RPD conference this June in Pagosa Springs. The report is now available for download here!
Sincerely,
