Our thanks to the Philanthropy Colorado Dues Restructure Committee - Matt Carpenter| El Pomar Foundation, Lauren Kugler | Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley, Liz Gardner | DaVita Giving Founation, Andrea Aragon| Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation, Gary Steuer | Bonfils Stanton Foundation, Joy Sullivan | United Way of Larimer County, Tiffany Welch | Next50, Khanh Nguyen | The Colorado Health Foundation, and Megan Ledin | Grand Foundation — for guiding the refresh of our membership model.
The new membership structure is simple and equitable:
· Every member contributes a $750 base.
· Six tier levels add to the base—from $250 to $11,250—based on discretionary grantmaking (funds your board or leadership can allocate freely, excluding donor-advised, government-restricted or pass-through funds).
· We encourage every member to consider Impact Champion support—an optional but vital way to amplify our mission and strengthen philanthropy across Colorado.
By centering discretionary resources, our dues now better reflect true capacity and strengthen fairness across our network. Members make us stronger—and together, we make Colorado stronger.
That's MEMBERSHIP THAT MULTIPLIES IMPACT.
And coming this October, our refreshed website will make dues renewal and payments easier than ever—online, easy peasy.
