Collegiate Peaks Bank Donates $12,480 to Colorado Nonprofits


Denver, CO (October 2023) - Colorado-based Collegiate Peaks Bank, a division of Glacier Bancorp, is pleased to announce that the bank has donated $12,480 to six different charities in Colorado.  The charities are Chaffee County Search and Rescue North, Chaffee County Search and Rescue South, MENTOR Colorado, Howard Volunteer Fire Department, Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity and Denver Park Trust. 

“Our bank is very proactive in supporting the communities we serve, and the effort to raise money for local charities is a great testament to the caring spirit of our customers and employees,” said Liam Girard, President of Collegiate Peaks Bank.  “Our entire team makes a point of serving on Boards and as volunteers for charities and non-profits that can use a helping hand.  It’s an important part of our culture and something that we know helps better our local communities.”

Chaffee County Search and Rescue North(Opens in a new Window) is a non-profit, all volunteer organization operating under the direction of the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office. Their mission is to provide search and rescue services, as well as outdoor safety education, at no cost to the public.

Chaffee County Search and Rescue South(Opens in a new Window) is a 100% unpaid volunteer organization serving the southern portion of Chaffee County. Members have one thing in common, a desire to help others who are lost or hurt in the backcountry. They raise funding through the solicitation of donations from the public and fundraisers.

MENTOR Colorado(Opens in a new Window) has the goal to ensure every young person in Colorado will have a quality mentoring relationship. The organization is on a mission to transform the quality and significantly increase the quantity of mentoring relationships for Colorado's young people.

Howard Volunteer Fire Department's (Opens in a new Window)mission is to suppress fires, train and equip local residents as volunteer firefighters, educate the public in fire safety, assist the local ambulance service, provide a variety of community support services and provide mutual aid with local fire districts.

Chaffee County Habitat for Humanity (Opens in a new Window)has the mission of “Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.” 

Denver Park Trust (Opens in a new Window)believes that every resident, in every neighborhood, deserves to be within walking or rolling distance of a high quality park.  Parks are an essential part of Denver, but some 70,000 residents, many low-income families with children, do not live within 10 minutes of a park.  The Denver Park Trust is working hard to change that in a thoughtful, equitable and sustainable way.
