Join Green Path Colorado
Let's Raise $1M for Climate Action
Green Path Colorado is a bold, community-powered campaign
to raise $1 million for Colorado-based climate nonprofits.
As federal labs and climate programs face increasing threats and potential shut down, our independent local leaders must step up —and we’re here to help you scale.
Selected nonprofits will receive hands-on fundraising support,
statewide visibility, & access to custom campaign tools.
Participation is 100% performance-based:
we only succeed when you do.
Apply today to be considered!
How does it work?
Through an
application process, Colorado-based nonprofits with a climate-relevant mission are invited to join the Inaugural
Green Path Colorado Campaign
to raise $1 million for Colorado climate nonprofits in 2025.
Organizations most ready to scale, support, and protect our culture of climate in Colorado will be selected to be displayed on the primary campaign website,
hosted here on Green Path Guru.
To make this campaign sustainable and impactful, we use a
performance-based commission model. That means we only get paid
if you raise money—and every dollar supports continued strategic & creative services to help you raise more.
All participating nonprofits will be designated into one of three categories:
seed
(basic support),
sprout
(custom coaching) &
thrive
(full strategic partnership).

What's in it for you?
Our climate problems are global, so our solutions need to scale. I’ve always been curious about what moves people to act—and how community can be a powerful tool for positive change.
After trying to launch a startup to help displaced entrepreneurs rebuild through local networks, I learned two key things: one, social capital can ripple through communities like a strong current; and two, I’m best at building those connections, not crunching the numbers.
I’ve spent most of my career in nonprofits. Now, I know I can have a bigger impact by helping many organizations thrive, not just one. Green Path Colorado is my way of rallying people around bold ideas—and amplifying the climate solutions already happening in our backyard.
What is the timeline?
We’re reviewing nonprofit applications from mid-April through early May 2025.
Our goal is to launch in late May or early June—exact timing will depend on the needs and readiness of the organizations we select.
Once we launch, the campaign will run through the end of 2025.
What if I don't live in Colorado?
Anyone can donate! The climate science happening in Colorado has global impact—from extreme weather forecasting and fishery management to wildfire research and adaptation, just to name a few.
If you're based in another state and interested in launching your own Green Path campaign, reach out to Alexis at

Why me? Why now?
Times are difficult. So much is happening so far away from our homes and our communities, it's easy to feel helpless. I am just one person, what can I do about it?
I am launching this campaign to prove that we are not helpless. In fact, we are beyond powerful, particularly when we act together. I am launching this campaign because I see the exhaustion in the eyes of my friends leading nonprofits, and I want that to change.
Each of us has the potential to positively intervene, in ways big and small. What matters now is not the dimension of your action, but your sheer commitment to it.
I refuse to let our climate future be decided by broken systems in D.C., and I invite you to join me in stepping up to support our independent climate organizations.
Instead of asking "Why me, Why now?" I invite you to ask yourself, "Why
not me? Why
not now?"
— Alexis Rhyner, The Green Path Guru
