Pagosa women, you have less than one month left to join Pagosa’s 100+ Women Who Care group for 2026!
While building community with other women, your $100 donation grants you membership for the year and makes a meaningful impact on the nonprofit community of Pagosa Springs.
Members may nominate one nonprofit and vote at the giving event at Coyote Moon on October 30, 2026, from 11am to 1pm. If you cannot attend, your $100 donation will still go towards the award.
Only in-person votes will count.
The top three nonprofits who receive the most nominations will be invited to give a pitch about their organization at the event on October 30. You must be a registered member to nominate and vote for nonprofits, but if you would simply like to donate to the cause, that is wonderful.
The link to register and donate is here. Only one nomination and one vote per member will be accepted.
To be eligible, the nonprofit you nominate must be:
- a registered 501c3 or fiscal project of a 501c3
- operating in Archuleta County
- willing to participate in the funding event by providing a 10-minute pitch and 5-minute Q&A
First place will receive 70% of the pot and second and third place will receive 10% of the pot each. The Archuleta County Fund will receive 10% of the pot.
A link to the nomination form will be in the donation receipt and the Community Foundation will email the nomination link in all member communications. You only need to submit your nomination once.
Because of our corporate sponsor Liberty Theatre and Caldwell’s Liberty Bar, 100% of your donation goes to nonprofits serving Archuleta County!
Special thanks to Coyote Moon Lounge for donating space for the event.
