Donate to CORE!

The Community Office for Resource Efficiency (CORE) has a 29-year history of leading climate action work in the Roaring Fork Valley through high-impact projects focused on reducing greenhouse gas pollution by 50% before 2030. By working together, we will not only reach this important benchmark but protect the extraordinary place we call home.

Your support will accelerate the transformation to a sustainable future through action-oriented solutions to the climate crisis, such as: 

  • Innovative Projects – Implementing large, long-term solutions that create lasting environmental change, such as the Coal Basin mine methane capture project
  • Energy Concierge Program – Helping our friends and neighbors adopt energy efficiency projects with personalized guidance to save money, energy, and carbon emissions
  • Community-Focused Support – Helping essential community-focused organizations, like childcare providers and libraries, provide healthier spaces for their participants and save money and carbon emissions in the process
  • Affordable Housing Initiative – Improving the affordability and livability of workforce housing by adding insulation and upgrading old heating and cooling systems
  • Workforce Development – Standing up a green workforce program in the Roaring Fork Valley and creating high-paying local jobs that advance our local and regional climate action goals

Be a part of the CORE community with a one-time, annual, or monthly gift.

CORE’s donors are the backbone of our community-driven commitment to the Valley we all love. New for 2023, CORE donors can now simplify their giving with a recurring annual or monthly gift. Your gift will preserve and protect the sanctuary we call the Roaring Fork Valley. By giving to CORE, not only are you directly combating climate change, but you are also a part of our donor community.

There are benefits to each giving level, but the largest benefit is knowing you made a direct and lasting impact on climate change in the Roaring Fork Valley.

(Depending on your monthly donation, you will receive the benefits of one of these giving levels)
