HEART OF COLORADO RURAL PHILANTHROPY DAYS
Heart of Colorado Rural Philanthropy Days
October, 2026 | Leadville, Colorado
In October 2026, more than 300 nonprofit professionals, grantmakers, community leaders, distinguished speakers, and elected officials will unite in Leadville to exchange knowledge and expand professional networks at the Heart of Colorado Rural Philanthropy Days conference.
This opportunity only occurs once every four years in the Heart of Colorado region which is composed of Chaffee, Clear Creek, Custer, Fremont, Gilpin, Lake, Park, Summit, and Teller counties.
About the Program
The goal of RPD is to bring increased access to resources to support sustainable rural nonprofits, increase the engagement of funders in rural communities, and encourage effective collaboration on a regional scale.
Meeting the needs of rural Colorado communities is what RPD is all about. Heart of Colorado regional nonprofit professionals in attendance at the 2026 conference will be able to participate in multiple professional development opportunities over the 2-day conference.
In addition, the Heart of Colorado RPD Conference will provide a powerful opportunity for the state’s most influential funders to meet one-on-one with local and regional grantseekers in a series of Funder Roundtable discussions. This exchange helps to break down barriers and ultimately results in stronger partnerships, increased access to resources and the development of long-term relationships.
