Being a homeowner with RMCLT has given me a bigger house for my family. Afterwards, RMCLT remained a support. Whenever I have a question about home ownership we can call them. Even if you have any type of financial problems, they will help you. Because of RMCLT, I have more than I ever thought I would have. – Homeowner since March 2007
The Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust (RMCLT) implements a number of different programs and embarks on a wide range of projects to attain its goal of providing permanent, quality affordable housing opportunities to limited income families. As a local non-profit organization, we are reliant on donations to help continue our mission, goals and programs.
Facts:
– For every $1 we receive for operational support, we leverage another $9 for acquisitions—to place families in homeownership and to help develop new housing.
– Each month, RMCLT invests approximately $25 per family to help all our families be successful and prevent foreclosures.
– 86% of operational funds go to programs and services which directly serve our families.
All donations to our 501(c)(3) organization are tax deductible. Additionally, any cash donation of $500 or more can be made through the El Paso County Enterprise Zone for a 25% state income tax credit.

In-Kind Support
RMCLT seeks in-kind donations such as equipment, tools, supplies, professional services, facilities, or even volunteer labor. We ask local home improvement stores to donate supplies for renovation projects and nurseries to donate plants for beautification projects. Depending on the project, there are an infinite number of possibilities. A wide range of local businesses such as restaurants, jewelry stores, spas and salons, movie theaters, and department stores may not be able to donate cash or supply the materials we need to carry out our annual fundraiser, but they sometimes offer attractive items to help raise money during the live and silent auctions. We also look for advice and support from local firms, such as solicitors, accountants or architects, who may offer their services for free. And last but not least, we look to local radio and newspapers that are often keen to be seen to be supporting the local community and to champion local issues.
RMCLT takes the utmost precautions to maintain the safety of your personal information. We do not share our donor list with anyone. If you have any questions or concerns regarding donating to Rocky Mountain Community Land Trust, please contact Randi at (719) 447-9300 ext. 5.
