Who We Are

Diverse Fort Collins began as a vision to connect community members through one website listing all local resources related to diversity , equity, inclusion and belonging.

From 2019 to 2021 we hosted in-person and virtual events with the help of more than 50 volunteers and advisory committee members.

Today, we have two volunteers who maintain the website and monthly blog featuring community groups and events.

If you’d like to see other local resources, businesses, groups, and events listed on our Blog and Resources pages, please email suggestions to DiverseFoCo@gmail.com

We’d love to hear from you!

Diverse Fort Collins is a website connecting people with resources and each other. Let’s create an inclusive community!
