🗓️ September 25th, 2025 | 11:30 AM–1:00 PM

What happens when local generosity is powered by both everyday neighbors and long-standing institutions?

At this month’s Purpose Forum, we’ll explore the power of local giving, the impact of showing up, and the many forms leadership can take—from grassroots donor circles to corporate philanthropy with deep community roots.

Join us for a fireside chat with two community leaders whose generosity looks very different—but whose shared commitment to Mesa County runs deep.Everyday leadership, small actions, and cross-sector collaboration all play a part in strengthening our community.

Connect for Good’s Purpose Forum—a no-pressure, high-possibility space for connection and community dialogue—returns on September 25th with a timely conversation on civic engagement. These gatherings bring together people across sectors and backgrounds to build trust, exchange ideas, and strengthen the fabric of our community—one connection at a time.
