In Colorado, Lifting Each Other Elevates Us All.
Colorado at 150 — A Legacy of Caring. A Future of Purpose. is a two-part film project celebrating the giving spirit that has helped shape Colorado since 1876. Through stories of community, innovation, and impact, the films celebrate our state’s culture of giving and explore how that legacy can guide Colorado’s next 150 years. Whether you’re a longtime supporter of Colorado’s nonprofit community or newly inspired to get involved, we hope these films spark pride, connection, and action.
For 150 years, Coloradans have come together to meet needs, strengthen communities, and create opportunity. From the earliest days of statehood to today, our state’s story has been shaped by neighbors helping neighbors. Created in honor of Colorado’s 150th anniversary, this film celebrates our state’s shared culture of giving—and invites all of us to carry this legacy forward together.
Here you’ll find two films: a short, high-energy film celebrating generosity in Colorado and challenging all of us to find our own ways to give back.
And a 11-minute documentary that is a tribute to the people and partnerships that have strengthened communities across our state.
Watch, share, and help amplify the stories that inspire the next generation of purpose-driven leadership.
And then tell us your own story of how your life was affected by Colorado generosity!
