Together we can.

 Women’s Community Leadership Initiative (WCLI) by Lipscomb Programming – a transformative program dedicated to empowering women from low-to-moderate income backgrounds in the Pikes Peak region.  We believe that leadership development is a holistic process that begins with self-awareness and extends to community and city engagement. Our unique six-month journey is designed to unlock the potential within each participant, equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to make a difference.

 We believe every woman deserves her best chance at survival regardless of her economic situation. We assist Colorado women with the costs associated with gynecologic cancer diagnoses through our Financial Assistance Program. Our Woman to Woman program trains and empowers women, one-year post treatment, to be mentor a newly diagnosed patient with the same cancer type.

 The Mindfulness and Positivity Project began in 2016 with two teachers, a mental health professional, and a shared vision to empower students to find peace and happiness in an increasingly complex world. Initially, we focused solely on students, but soon realized the efficacy of our program relied on healthy, supportive adults practicing with youth. When parents, teachers, coaches, and mentors are given the tools to model these behaviors, everyone is more equipped to lead a life of happiness and flourishing.

 Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern Colorado keeps families and their critically ill children close to each other and provides them the care and resources they need, when they need it most.

When the health and well-being of a child hangs in the balance, there’s no other place where their family would be than by their side.  And, their child needs them there, too.

Together, we give seriously ill children and their families what they need the most—each other. Because we believe that no critically ill child—or their family—should go it alone.

  Safe Place for Pets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit pet placement organization that provides care, support and rehoming services for pets of terminally ill people. For more than 20 years, Safe Place for Pets has compassionately served pet owners diagnosed with terminal illnesses. We have found forever homes for over 1,300 of their beloved pets while also providing needed veterinary care and support. 

At Safe Place, we place a heavy emphasis on making sure our pets receive quality veterinary services when placed in our care. All of our pets undergo a veterinary examination and are up-to-date on vaccinations, spay/neutered and undergo a comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment when recommended by a veterinarian, ensuring that each pet is happy, healthy and ready for their new forever homes.

 In 2020, Adam & Son founded the Stranded Motorist Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit that helps the people in our community who can’t afford to fix their cars. We realized that we were seeing a large increase in the number of vehicle owners unable to afford necessary safety repairs. Although we have always had customers who might need to put something on a credit card, current data shows that 1 in 3 motorists cannot afford an unexpected car repair over $500 without going into debt. We also saw many people who needed to get to work and get their children to school, and they had nowhere to go to ensure they had a safe, reliable vehicle. Often these are domestic violence victims, low-income or homeless veterans, or single moms. You can’t go to the food bank or housing department for help with car repairs, so the Stranded Motorist Fund exists to help our community members that have safety concerns with their vehicles but cannot afford to fix them. We write grants and fundraise to secure this funding, but customers are the most impactful funders as every purchase they make with us helps others, as you will see with our other two social impact programs. Together we have given over $80,0000 in repairs and dated vehicles through the Stranded Motorist Fund.
