Welcome to Heart of Colorado

The 2008 Heart of Colorado Rural Philanthropy Days took place in Cripple Creek, Colorado on September 24-26

Rural Philanthropy Days (RPD) offers a powerful opportunity for Colorado's funding community to interact with the nonprofit organizations in rural Colorado. The conference allows nonprofit representatives and funders to learn from one another and collaborate on needed projects through an interactive conference agenda. It is a place where funders and nonprofits begin relationships that lead to successful grant proposals and more resources for rural Colorado.

A special thank you to all of our sponsors without whom the conference could not take have taken place.

Community representatives from the five Heart of Colorado counties – Chaffee, Custer, Fremont, Park and Teller - planned a conference that was unique and fun, as well as built relationships that will last well beyond the conference.
