Aspen Giving Network

In 2016, Laura launched the Giving Network at the Aspen Community Foundation. The Network is comprised of a select group of local philanthropists and second-home owners who are interested in making a difference in the lives of children and families in the Aspen to Parachute region. Members of the Giving Network contribute a minimum of $5,000 annually and have the opportunity to learn directly from experts how the cutting-edge strategy of collective impact can have a profound impact on positive youth development and the Roaring Fork Valley’s future. The group participates in a series of meetings in which they learn about local issues and inspiring local non-profits working to address them. The culmination is an annual group decision on how to allocate the pool of funds.

Since its inception, over $3,100,000 in Giving Network investments have advanced health and human services outcomes by supporting youth and families, social-emotional well-being, and nonprofits supporting basic needs.
