The CAUSE internship started this week! We partnered 11 students up with 11 amazing nonprofits to support them in their 2026 Colorado Gives Marketing Campaigns. Throughout the month of June our talented interns will attend marketing classes, analyze their nonprofits brand, and create beautiful marketing material.They have been equipped with three new AI trainings to teach them how to ethically use AI for their time ahead. We can’t wait to see what these interns produce this year to support their community!

The CAUSE (Community Action Utilizing Service Experience) Internship began in 2021. This incredible opportunity came in order to offer high school students valuable, hands-on experience while giving nonprofits support in marketing their incredible work for Southwest Colorado Gives Day.

Nonprofits involved receive more than just a helping hand and marketing support, they receive $2,500 to support their mission. These paid interns will produce work that benefits their nonprofit and receive a competitive, full-time hourly wage.

School is out, and to kick off the summer the Foundation's SPUR Fund directed grants to summer youth programs across Southwest Colorado. From Dove Creek to Silverton to the Ute Mountain Ute Nation, all with one thing in common: making sure working families have access to affordable summer care for their kids.

A huge thank you to the Virga Foundation for partnering with us to bring additional support to Montezuma County this quarter. Have a great summer!
