The Crosby Endowment
A family endowment meant to be a perpetual gift for children and music ministries for the Montrose United Methodist Church.
Montrose Botanical Society Endowment

The Montrose Botanical Society is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization that provides horticultural education and leadership for residents of the Uncompahgre Valley through the development of botanic gardens for demonstration, education and leisure. The Society created the Montrose Botanic Gardens to be an inspiration and an invaluable educational tool for residents as they strive to enhance a landscape that was once tumbleweed, sage and cactus.

Stars Hollow Animal Sanctuary

Located high on the shoulder of Horsefly Peak southwest of Montrose, Star’s Hollow Animal Sanctuary is home to nearly twenty animals – goats, ponies, cats, dogs, and donkeys – who have been rescued from neglect, abuse, abandonment, euthanasia, or slaughter.   On this idyllic 40-acre farm, these animals get a second chance at life under the watchful care of locals Rosine and Rick Okie, along with their faithful livestock guardian dog Star, whose name the property honors.
If you are interested in supporting this fiscal fund of MCF, your donations are 100% tax deductable.  Use the button at the top of this page to donate and designate Star’s Hollow in the pull down menu.

Western Slope Surgical Fund

A group of local surgeons have partnered with One World Surgery
to create the Western Slope Surgical Fund.
It provides local medical professionals that include nurses, techs, physical therapists and general volunteers the empowerment to make an impact on global health. In addition to personal development, participation allows medical staff from our region to provide world-class surgery and primary care to underserved communities in Dominican Republic and Honduras.
Professional fulfillment, personal growth and team building are the outcomes for these volunteers, to bring back to our community.

Please help Montrose send their best to these impactful missions by donating to this fund through this link.
Money will be used to supplement the costs of participation in these annual surgery missions.
