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. In 2026, Jenny Hill joined our team. They volunteer their time to organize and run 100+ for the Earth.

Our Mission Statement
When we come together to share and learn about local environmental nonprofits, we create community. When we combine our resources, we can make a greater impact.
Thank you to the Telegraph for this great article!
Correction: Members nominate nonprofits before the meeting. If more than 3 nominations are made, a fishbowl drawing takes place before the meeting to determine the 3 nonprofits that will be pitched at the meeting.
