Southwest Colorado Gives is a collaborative effort spearheaded by the Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado to inspire generosity in our five county community and increase online giving for local participating nonprofits.

Willowtail Springs Nature Preserve and Education Center offers time and space for practitioners in the arts and ecology. Residents contemplate and develop their projects influenced by the preserve’s essence. Deeper works are aided by unexpected directions of thought and process. The community benefits from the Residents sharing their work and process through performances, workshops, exhibits, presentations and lectures. We are pleased to have recently launched a program for students from local area schools to experience an artist residency.
