Getting To Know The LOR Foundation

By now you’ve probably heard of the LOR Foundation but do you know that they’re working on multiple projects in Monte Vista? Well they are! SLVoices sat down for an intimate one on one interview with Community Officer Ivette Atencio to find out more about her background, how she became involved with LOR, what this private foundation is all about, some of innovative solutions they’ve helped with in other towns, and how you can get involved.

Listen Locally. Act Quickly. Share Widely.

LOR is a private foundation that works with individuals and organizations to kick-start projects that benefit rural places in the Mountain West. Our name shares our values: livability, opportunity, and responsibility.

We believe that many small actions can create lasting change, and we support solutions to problems the community has identified as priorities. Sometimes that help is funding. And sometimes it’s simply connecting people and organizations with resources—and to each other. Today, we are working with Taos, New Mexico, Lander, Wyoming, Libby, Montana, and Cortez and Monte Vista, Colorado.
