Please support
local journalism in the Estes Valley.

Please support the Estes Valley Voice through the 2025 ColoradoGives campaign.

Last year, the Colorado Media Project and News Collaborative, or COLab, served as our fiscal sponsor, and through your support, we received a grant of $11,294 to support our newsroom and journalists.

That was a great operational runway for us during our first six months. We have again been offered an opportunity by the Colorado Media Project to participate in this year’s Colorado Gives campaign.

The Estes Valley Voice is an award-winning, independent, journalist-founded, and locally owned digital newsroom that offers accurate, fact-based, and in-depth news and commentary, focusing on the people, businesses, and events in the Estes Valley.

Our mission is twofold: to produce and distribute news, features, and commentary based on six fundamental cornerstones of journalism—integrity, independence, accuracy, accountability, objectivity, and transparency—and to be a forum for the civil exchange of viewpoints and public engagement.

We are a public benefit corporation, which, according to Colorado law, is a for-profit company “intended to produce a public benefit or public benefits and to operate in a responsible and sustainable manner.”

While staying in business is the first rule of any business, a public benefit corporation shifts the paradigm from profits to people, and from the corporation to the community.

The Estes Valley Voice news team includes writers, editors, photographers, and content producers who are passionate about hyperlocal news.

Journalism is a public good. A strong, independent media is correlated with a more civically engaged local community.

The Estes Valley Voice will strive to earn the respect of our readers by delivering honest, accurate news that is connected to our community.
