The Western Colorado Community Foundation works with community minded donors who share a connection to Western Colorado and want to make a difference in the place we all call home. A current focus area for the Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) is the mental health and well-being of young people. Your donation will support different phases of our 'Heads Up, Phones Down’ campaign to provide information, education, and resources for our community to foster healthier social media and technology habits that promote mindful device usage and more face-to-face interactions. Visit wc-cf.org to learn more about WCCF. For more information about our current campaign, see HeadsUpParenting.org.
"Thank you to the Western Colorado Community Foundation for helping D51 purchase cell phone holders, an instrumental tool in allowing us to successfully implement our updated cell phone policy across the district. With the new policy we are looking forward to creating a stronger climate of deeper and more personal connections that supports students with developing essential life skills of dialogue and listening to others.”
– District 51 High School Principal
