Statewide Rural Forum
Over the past several months, CRC has provided virtual programming for rural organizations, funders, and civic leaders to connect, learn, collaborate, and access critical resources during these uncertain times. Through this programming, CRC has heard from people across the sector about their pressing concerns.
This virtual town-hall style forum will bring together nonprofits, funders, and government agencies from across rural Colorado to address concerns and challenges, generate solutions for their communities, and build relationships across the state.
When registering you will have the opportunity to select one of the following topics for a breakout group:
- Public/Private partnerships – How do we evolve our relationships with local businesses and government to reflect the interdependence of our sectors for the well-being of our communities?
- Technology & Access – How do we reimagine what access means for our communities accessing health care, education, and employment in the remote world?
- Nonprofit Collaboration – How do we retain and build on the collaborations built during the pandemic to include the sharing of ideas, space, staff and other resources?
- Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion – How do we define and own our sector’s role in moving our communities towards justice and equity?
- Economic/Community Development – How do we lead our communities in a sustainable and transformational economic recovery that works for everyone?
Goals:
Creating a virtual forum for nonprofit, foundation, government, and community leaders from across rural colorado to:
- Network build with one another across focus area and geography
- Catalyze connections on specific identified areas of interest/need
- Ideate on concrete action items and next steps that we can take as individuals and a sector to move the needle
