Support Shadowcliff
Help us cultivate connection, learning, and transformation in the majesty of the Rocky Mountains.
Shadowcliff is more than a lodge and retreat center—it's a place of sanctuary and refuge built by volunteers, sustained by generosity, and devoted to the work of healing, hospitality, and environmental and cultural stewardship.
Whether you're drawn to the trails, the mission, or the magic of connecting with guests from around the world by the fire, your support makes it possible for Shadowcliff to hold space for individual and collective transformation.
Make a Donation
As a 501c3 nonprofit lodge and retreat center, Shadowcliff depends on the generosity of our community. Your donation helps us:
- Open our doors each season with essential supplies and staff support
- Host residency and community programs that benefit the Grand Lake community
- Provide affordable, subsidized lodging for hikers, guests, and mission-aligned groups
- Maintain and improve our facilities for generations to come
Every gift matters. Consider becoming a monthly donor or making a pledge as part of our 5-year Matching Challenge.
