We Support

Las Manos believes very strongly in supporting our local community and many National and Worldwide organizations such as.

Land Trust of the Upper Arkansas.

LTUA is a locally based, non-profit organization which helps to protect ranchlands, open space, natural resources and wildlife habitat in the Upper Arkansas Valley. As part of their "Common Cents for Conservation" program, we ask that you contribute 1% of your bill to LTUA to help keep our valley beautiful. This is a completely voluntary donation.

Opera Colorado Every Spring, Opera Colorado Outreach program visits Buena Vista to bring a varied program of Opera and Broadway to the community and both the Elementary and High Schools. Las Manos hosts several of the performers during their stay.

Ark Valley Humane Society Our local humane Society does an excellent job of finding homes for abandoned pets, and returning lost ones to their owners.

Arkansas Valley Art Center

Great Old Broads for Wilderness A national, grassroots organization dedicated to preserving and protecting wilderness areas across America. We donate a stay with massages to their annual auction.

Walden Chamber Music Society The Walden Chamber Music Society is based in Dallas, but the Boatright family moved here a few years ago and started a local Colorado offshoot. The Boatrights and their friends and family have provided our area with wonderful chamber concerts and performances. They have performed at Las Manos and we contribute regularly to their fund-raisers.

National Wildlife Foundation Colleen has worked hard to receive a " Certified Wildlife Habitat " designation from the NWF. That means we provide the four basic habitat elements needed for wildlife to thrive: food,water,cover and places to raise young.

Sierra Club

Friendship Bridge This wonderful organization is modeled on the Grameen Bank, and makes small loans to poor women in Guatemala and Vietnam. We donate a stay with massages to their annual auction.

Rocky Mountain PBS We love PBS and our local Denver channel is no exception. We donate a two night stay with massages to their annual auction.

Alliance Against Domestic Abuse

Odyssey of the Mind Three teams from our local McGinnis Middle School have made it to the World Finals in Maryland in late May. Congratulations. We donated two massage packages to help raise funds for their trip.
