At L’Arche Northern Colorado,
we know you want to make a meaningful impact.

To make a meaningful impact in the lives of people with intellectual disabilities you need to understand their needs and to have meaningful opportunities to engage.

However, people with intellectual disabilities are often marginalized, making it very difficult for you to connect with them and to help them, leaving everyone feeling disempowered.

Like you, we believe everyone should be
valued, safe and included.

We understand how difficult it can be to find investment opportunities that effectively respond to the needs of people with intellectual disabilities.

For the last 59 years, L’Arche has been creating opportunities for our philanthropic partners like you to understand, engage and invest in meaningful impact, launching 150+ communities in 38 countries.

We create opportunities by:

  • Educating our investors, stakeholders and the public about the dignity and value of people with intellectual disabilities.
  • Gathering together in meaningful relationships with people with intellectual disabilities so that we can hear their voices and honor their choices.
  • Raising funds to launch L’Arche Northern Colorado, a new community where the people with and without intellectual disabilities live and share life together.

Why is this capacity campaign a meaningful investment?

The launch of L’Arche Northern Colorado initiates a radically different approach to meeting the needs of people with intellectual disabilities, based in deep competencies and decades of transformative experience.  We leverage the power of relationships and community to innovate service provision and create synergy with existing resources that consistently result in greater integration and significantly higher quality of life.

This launch is anchored by a deep collaborative network:

 

  • More than half a century of expertise from L’Arche USA and L’Arche International providing mentoring, coaching, consulting, professional/organizational support and oversight
  • A highly-qualified, well-connected, engaged Board of Directors and Executive Director and Community Leader
  • A committed group of long-term volunteers
  • A budding community of regular participants
  • A broad network of collaborative partners
  • Strong support from our local community
  • And a persistent need that cannot be ignored

Make a meaningful impact so all can feel
welcomed, connected and belong. 

Step 1: Launch L’Arche Northern Colorado by supporting “Launch”

Step 2: Join our community and invite others to participate

Step 3: Invest some of your time, talent, relationships or resources

Support “Launch” …our Capacity Campaign.

We have an ambitious vision to build two homes and develop a community of 150 in the next 2 years. We have already hired a Community Leader and secured about 60% of the funding for our homes.

Our next step is to increase capacity by expanding community outreach and hiring two more staff. This means that we need to raise $250,000. We are looking for philanthropic investors, like you, who can provide financial leadership that will launch L’Arche Northern Colorado to the next level.

To set up a personal meeting with our Community Leader, Dustin Barrington, to discuss making a significant investment of time, talent, relationships or resources, please click on the orange “Campaign Leadership” button below.
