Spending time outside has the power to educate, heal, and connect us, and these nonprofit organizations are proving just how impactful that connection can be. From restoring public lands to empowering youth through outdoor education, these groups are protecting the natural world while also strengthening the communities that depend on it.


Here are three outdoor-focused nonprofits making a difference in Colorado and beyond.

1. Lincoln Hills Cares

Lincoln Hills Cares is opening the outdoors to future generations. By providing outdoor and environmental education, cultural history exploration, and career development programs, they help youth from under-resourced communities discover new pathways and build confidence in nature and in themselves. From equestrian programs to historic preservation, their work supports equity, access, and leadership in outdoor spaces.

2. Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC)

For many nonprofits, volunteers are the backbone of their mission. They help run programs, support events, connect with the community, and expand the organization’s impact. But recruiting and organizing volunteers can be a challenge, especially for small teams with limited time and resources. That’s where social media can play a powerful role. At Crowd for Causes, we work with nonprofits that want to turn their online audiences into real-world supporters. With the right strategy, social media can help organizations not only recruit volunteers but also build long-term relationships with people who care deeply about their mission.

5 Thoughtful Ways to Promote Your Nonprofit Online

By Alex Schupp • February 19, 2026
Promoting a nonprofit online can feel overwhelming, especially when time and resources are limited. Many mission-driven organizations are focused first and foremost on serving their communities, which often leaves digital strategy as an afterthought. However, in today’s environment, a strong online presence is not about self-promotion. It is about visibility, accessibility, and connection. When people can easily find and understand your mission, they are more likely to support it. Here are five practical and sustainable ways to strengthen your nonprofit’s presence online.

Storytelling Is Your Most Powerful Fundraising Tool

By Alex Schupp • February 19, 2026
Nonprofits exist because something in the world needs care, attention, and action. Behind every organization is a story. A story about people served, challenges faced, and hope sustained. In a digital world, your website becomes one of the primary places that story is told. Storytelling is not about marketing language or polished messaging. It is about clarity. It is about helping someone understand why your work matters and how they can be part of it. When done well, storytelling builds connection long before someone chooses to donate.

Digital Marketing for Religious Organizations: Strengthening Connection in a Digital World

By Alex Schupp • February 17, 2026
Religious organizations operate with a clear mission, strong community ties, and often limited internal resources. While the mission remains constant, the way communities engage has shifted significantly. Today, your website is often the first interaction someone has with your organization, before they attend a service, volunteer, or make a donation. A strong digital presence is no longer optional. It is a foundational tool that supports communication, engagement, and long-term sustainability.
