For the past eight years, Give A Hoot has shined a light on what makes Park County special: a community that believes in supporting the nonprofits working every day to make life better for everyone.

This support gives organizations the flexibility to respond where it matters most, for example:

🪶An air conditioning upgrade for residents at the Park County Senior Center
🪶Operational funds for HRDC’s Livingston Warming Center
🪶Free career exploration programs for Park County middle school students from Community School Collaborative
🪶Connecting rural students, educators, families, and communities with behavioral and mental health resources through Rural Resilience

Thanks to the 2026 Matching Pool Sponsors and generous community members, Give A Hoot inspired over 5,600 individual donations totaling $3.7 million and benefiting 104 local nonprofits, showing the spreading culture of giving in Park County.
