A Better Colorado Foundation was established with the primary purpose of transforming recreational events into charitable fundraisers, aimed at supporting local Colorado children and veteran non-profit organizations.
Our mission is to financially empower smaller charities in Colorado that are passionately dedicated to their respective causes but face financial challenges, enabling them to continue making a positive impact. Our vision is to contribute to a better Colorado by cultivating an engaged community that supports and uplifts the invaluable work of our local children and veteran non-profit organizations.
We are currently focusing our main efforts on helping Colorado veterans with PTSD by pairing them with service dogs to provide crucial support for their day-to-day struggles. These partnerships foster healing, independence, and a better quality of life for our local heroes.
99 Hearts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that operates out of a private, tranquil and scenic ranch in the foothills of Golden, CO. Their unique services, facilities and horses combined with being in nature provides an impactful forum for their participants to make a change in their lives. They offer three programs, Family Services, Workforce Development and Suicide Awareness & Support. They incorporate horses into many of their services, and also offer virtual services. They carefully chose horses with a special story that enjoy healing people, and experienced facilitators with a passion for helping people making a change. The programs at 99 Hearts are one-of-a-kind and they are proud to offer unique and transformative services to their participants.
The mission of MaxFund is to shelter, care for and find homes for pets in our community, and welcome into our care even those pets with the most critical need.
They do this while working to forward the no kill movement through community, advocacy, and by maximizing programs that strengthen this mission.
MaxFund has been kind enough to waive all adoption fees for any dogs we find at their shelter that we can train and pair with a Veteran with PTSD going through our program.
At A Better Colorado Foundation, we improve the lives of veterans with PTSD by providing highly trained service dogs. Guided by compassion and community, we raise funds to pair veterans with dogs that offer companionship, stability, and independence. Together, we’re creating a brighter future for Colorado’s heroes.
