While the majority of Colorado Springs enjoys a period of unprecedented growth, residents of southeast Colorado Springs, specifically those living within zip codes 80916 and 80910, face a lack of infrastructure, resources, and opportunities that help a community flourish. The Lift Southeast initiative invites churches from across the Pikes Peak region to join city leaders, community funders, and other leading organizations in creating opportunities, connections, and support for our city’s most diverse neighborhoods.
Consider how your church or business can bring resources, finances, connections and support alongside organizations doing good work in the Southeast. Below is a list of local organizations that are tackling some of the greatest issues in the Southeast that are ready to partner with you:
