About Us

The idea of 100+ for the Earth developed from a conversation at a Durango Climate Study Group meeting about how only 3% of all charitable giving in the U.S. goes to environmental or animal causes (Giving USA 2024). Familiar with 100+ Women Who Care La Plata and the hundreds of similar giving circle groups across the country, we thought why not start such a group dedicated to supporting local nonprofits focused on environmental solutions?

100+ for the Earth Southwest Colorado was founded in 2025 by Carrie Denman, Darcy Hitchcock and Gale Zander Barlow. They volunteer their time to organize and run 100+ for the Earth.
