The Rural Philanthropy Days™ (RPD) conference is scheduled to return to the Southwest region in Durango from June 7-9, 2023. This unique conference provides a forum for quality professional development opportunities close to home as well as networking with other community leaders in the region and relationship building opportunities with statewide funders. RPD™ not only creates the space to educate each other on regional needs but also works towards collaboratively addressing community-wide issues in the region. This opportunity only occurs once every four years in the Southwest region which serves the counties of Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan; and the Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Indian tribes.
