The Philanthropy Collective is a consortium of philanthropic organizations and individuals that exists to learn, share expertise, collaborate, and leverage resources to address our region’s most significant challenges and actualize its potential. Our goal is to bring more philanthropic entities to the table. We will operate as an opt-in model, offering convenings on various topics and networking opportunities. Invitations will go out to different subsets of our overall participant list based on topic.

I began my State Farm journey in April of 2012 and, shortly after, served customers affected by the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest wildfires. I watched State Farm deliver on the promise they made to the people of our community and it solidified my desire to be a part of this great company for life. Taking care of the auto, home, health and life insurance needs for our neighbors in Colorado Springs as well as our neighbors in Monument, Peyton, Falcon, Fountain and Manitou Springs is a true passion of mine.

The Woody and Millie Ingram Guest House, located on the campus of the St. Francis Hospital, welcomes patients and families, provide respite and an opportunity for families to remain together during difficult, and oftentimes prolonged, treatments and care. Woody and Millie Ingram Guest House at St. Francis, much like the John Zay Guest House, provides precisely what is needed – a place to sleep, shower, eat, pray and to find comfort, companionship and community specifically focused on families of our most fragile patients, our NICU babies, and patients undergoing cancer treatment.
