Here’s our first-ever grantee networking plan — designed by you, for you

Our Larimer County Behavioral Health Services team is committed to supporting Impact Fund grantees in ways that go beyond the check.

To do that, we’re launching a series of educational, energizing, and networking events for our 2025 grant recipients. These gatherings are meant to strengthen partnerships, build community capacity, and create space for connection.

A big thank-you to everyone who joined us at the October Grantee Welcome Breakfast — we used your ideas about timing, format, and topics to shape this pilot series, and we hope you see your feedback reflected. 

A few notes:

  • We’ll aim for mid-morning sessions, as many of you suggested, with a few other options mixed in.

  • We’re committed to the topics outlined below; although exact dates may shift as planning continues.

  • You’ll receive details to RSVP for each event, including confirmed dates, times, and locations.
