Why Your Support Matters

At Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance (SCCA), we help protect the cultural heritage and natural landscapes of the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument (CANM). With your support, we safeguard over 100 cultural sites, nurture volunteer stewardship programs, and provide educational experiences that connect over 1,000 people each year with the rich history and beauty of Southwest Colorado.

Your donation directly fuels our efforts to preserve cultural heritage, protect sacred spaces, and foster a deeper appreciation for the lands we all share. By empowering local communities, collaborating with Indigenous artists, and engaging future generations in conservation, you help ensure that these irreplaceable legacies remain intact for years to come. 

When you give to SCCA, you become part of something bigger—a movement to protect history, honor diverse cultures, and inspire responsible stewardship of our public lands.


Your gift today can:

  • Fund our Cultural Site Stewardship Program, where volunteers monitor and protect fragile historical sites.
  • Support educational and cultural programs, like Indigenous art demonstrations and night sky events.
  • Help expand our community outreach to engage new generations of outdoor stewards and history advocates.

Together, we can preserve the past and protect the future. Will you join us?

Mission

Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance fosters awareness and appreciation of the landscape and cultural heritage of Canyons of the Ancients National Monument through collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management.

Background Statement

Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance was founded in 2013 by a group of local citizens who were concerned about the future of their local Public Lands. Limited federal funding and resources prompted this group to find alternative volunteer support to care for the precious and delicate landscape of Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. We are also proud partners of Onward! a Legacy Foundation.
