The Evergreen Creative District exists to preserve, promote, and protect the creative industries of the Colorado Foothills community. Nonprofit organizations serve a vital role in our community by providing services that improve the lives of thousands of foothills residents.

Whether they are providing food and shelter, wellness and health services, advocacy, cultural and artistic enrichment, educational services, or environmental sustainability, the nonprofits that form the Mountain Area Nonprofit Coalition are creating initiatives that sustain, enrich, and preserve life. Each one represents crucial and irreplaceable components of our mountain community.

We encourage you to learn about and support each and every one of these causes. When these organizations thrive, we all thrive!
