organizations need to make our community a desirable place to live; and

the future of philanthropy; and

eaglecountycoloradogives.org, a website allowing donors to direct their contributions to one or more of the
55 local Eagle County charities featured on the site, making it an ideal resource for facilitating charitable
giving to our locally based nonprofit organizations; and
