This year, instead of including grantee speeches as a part of Here for Good, we are working with a local videographer to interview 2026 Grantees on video in advance and put together a video highlighting the impact and vibrancy of the nonprofit sector. It will make the event more efficient, allowing more time for socializing with other nonprofit attendees and community members, plus it will give us something we can use on social media all year long.

In order to get all of the interviews done, we’re planning at least two filming days, exact locations to be determined. We will film in Gunnison on Wednesday, July 8 at the media center on Western’s campus at Taylor Hall Room 124. This link will take you to a map that has the parking lot marked. Taylor 124 is the media center with KWSB, Mountaineer Media, and the Sound Stage (where we will film).

We will film in Crested Butte on Thursday, July 9.

Yes, we will share your raw footage with your organization if you want to use it for your own projects.

If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Ashley UpChurch or Laurel Runcie (Communications) via our contact form.
