About CCT
What We Do

We attract new funding to preserve Colorado’s most special places.  We help individuals, families and foundations direct their conservation investments to projects that achieve their goals and accomplish important conservation outcomes, while leveraging additional public and private funding.  We encourage businesses to do their part.  And we partner with conservation groups and public agencies to conserve the land in the most strategic and effective way possible.
