Member Directed Donation Program

Our 2023 Spirit of Giving program has wrapped up for the year.

Spirit of Giving started in 1999, allowing our members to cast one vote per account to determine how the $35,000 donation is split amongst their favorite non-profit organizations within the San Luis Valley. From November 13th to December 15th, votes were submitted online and at our branches.

SLVFB received a total of 3460 votes split amongst 187 non-profits. Each vote is worth $10.12.

We strongly believe in this program and cherish the participation that it brings to our community. Seeing our members vote and cheer on their favorite non-profit organization is inspiring. Thank you for another successful Spirit of Giving!
