Grantee Networking

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.

    We offer these circles as a space to share, reflect, and build resilience while connecting with one another. In a world marked by increasing division, cultivating wholeness is more important than ever. Many of our familiar ways of working have been uprooted, paused, or transformed, and the circle symbolizes vitality, unity, and completeness in the midst of change.


    Sitting in circle provides a sense of safety, protection, and integrity for all of us. We invite self-responsibility, respect for confidentiality, mindful awareness of our emotions, and a commitment to honoring each person’s experience without judgment.


    Together, we are learning to show up as our best selves — for our work, for one another, for our families, for our communities, and, most importantly, for ourselves. Even amid chaos and change, we can choose to live with intention, resilience, and connection.
