Summer 2020. Responding to inequity and racism.
According to the State Demographer's Office, the Estes Park Community's largest racial groups are white (87%), Latinx (primarily Mexican, 12%) and Nepalese (less than 1%). EPNRCs mission is to support ALL nonprofits, whether they are providing social services, health, education, conservation, etc, regardless of race or economic status.
As we endeavor to know what is appropriate and how to take action in these unprecedented times, we return to the core values of authenticity and compassion, acceptance and inclusivity. We are determined to take meaningful action that is supportive and unapologetic.

EPNRC Statement of Inclusivity An incident took place in Estes Park in which a community member was the victim of racially motivated harassment. Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center (EPNRC) stands against racism and harassment in every form. We believe an inclusive community is a strong community. We believe in working to make Estes Park a community where individuals of all ethnicities, identities, and cultures can live, work, and play safely without fear of discrimination or harassment. Our partner nonprofit, Estes Valley Crisis Advocates, offer crisis advocacy services 24/7. All of their services are FREE and CONFIDENTIAL. If you, or someone you know, is in need of support, they are here for you. During office hours call 970-577-9781, after office hours call 970-586-4000 and ask to speak to an advocate. Community members--if you see something, say something. Racism goes against the values of our Estes Park community and it is up to all of us to take a stand against it. We are strongest when we are united. | ||||
Resources that inspire equity and inclusivity.
Area nonprofits recently had an earnest conversation about racism and inequality in our community. There were some resources asked for and some resources shared by partners. Thanks to all for thinking about—and finding ways to take action—on this important issue.

Volunteer Match and Nonprofit Calendar This volunteer platform is the one-stop-shop for posting your volunteer needs & entering events on the shared, nonprofit calendar. You heard it right, we have a nonprofit calendar for you to post all your events & happenings that will help us all to schedule without competition. EPRNC will push out press releases and social media announcements based on content nonprofits provide. This platform is a great opportunity to create volunteer recruitment events and could provide an opportunity for nonprofits to "table". However, this platform is only as robust at the information nonprofits provide. >>Visit EstesVolunteers.org |
