The holiday giving season is upon us and we wanted to spotlight a few amazing local businesses that donate back to Cottonwood Institute as you shop for your friends, family, colleagues, and clients.
14ers Watercolor Prints: You may have heard that local artist, Mike Wilson, donated his entire watercolor collection of all 53 14,000ft peaks to Cottonwood Institute. Check out our 14ers Artwork Store and buy a print for someone special you hiked a 14er with. 100% of net proceeds directly support our students and programs!
Acova Restaurant: Acova Restaurant in Denver, CO has a pretty amazing kids menu. Acova donates $2 for every kids menu item purchased to a different charity each month, including Cottonwood Institute! Check ’em out y’all.
Maroon Bell Outdoor: We have been partnering with Jeremy Dougherty from Maroon Bell Outdoor since their founding in 2016. They have an incredible line of leather gloves, flannel shirts, backpacks, beanies, and trucker hats. They will have the perfect gift for the outdoor adventurer in your life.
Moving Mountains Lidl Co.: Moving Mountains Lidl Co. was founded by Kara Vendel back in 2020 as a new parent, right before the global pandemic shut the world down. She wanted to start a company and a brand that helped make the world a better place. 5% of their sales support local nonprofits, including Cottonwood Institute! Check out their hats and beanies for kids and adults!
Patagonia: Patagonia has been making high quality, ethical clothing and gear for over 50 years. The earth is their only stakeholder and they are committed to giving 1% back to environmental nonprofits. While Patagonia is not a local company, their local stores in Boulder and Denver have been so supportive of our students and programs donating over $80,000 since 2009. Support great companies that support local nonprofits!
Rayback Collective: If you haven’t been to Rayback Collective in Boulder, CO, you are missing out! Rayback Collective selected Cottonwood Institute to be their nonprofit beneficiary for the month of December. And while you’re at it, stop by our Cottonwood Institute Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 11th, 2024 from 5pm – 8pm and let’s pack the place!
Donate To Cottonwood Institute: And if you still can’t find that perfect gift for your friends, family, colleagues, or clients, please make a donation to Cottonwood Institute in their honor and we will send a personal note and more information about the impact your gift will have on our students and programs. And if you set up a monthly donation by December 31, 2024, you will help unlock a $25,000 matching gift. Now that’s a gift that keeps on giving!
