Telluride Women Give, A Giving Circle of The Telluride Medical Center Foundation.

Telluride Women Give is a philanthropic giving circle of the Telluride Medical Center Foundation. It is a leadership network of community-minded women who want to do more than just donate; they want to invest and collaborate to create specific programs that make a difference in the lives of women, children and families.

Telluride Women Give members take a deep dive into the health care issues affecting women and their families. Then they create solutions to improve their health and the well-being of the people they love. Using the power of collective philanthropy, the members’ pool their annual contributions and the group collaboratively decides which program, project or new equipment to fund for Telluride Regional Medical Center. The group’s efforts drive innovative and often life-saving services and technology that can really make a difference right here in Telluride.
