Giving (Crested Butte Charity)

Kopf Crested Butte Community Giving: Where Every Home Sale Helps the Local Crested Butte Community

I love the opportunity to give back to the Crested Butte Community. My wife Francene and I are genuinely committed to improving lives and communities. That’s why we have supported local non-profits in our valley with service and money. I appreciate the opportunity to provide service to my clients and am able to make a difference in the Crested Butte area.

As my Crested Butte real estate business has grown, I have been blessed with many referrals and clients that have fallen in love with the beauty of the Gunnison Valley, the Crested Butte area, and the warm community here. Many want to make an impact here in Crested Butte, and they feel good about finding a new home here in the mountains that they will love, but they also feel great knowing that they are able to make a difference for others in this great community.

Why I donate – Put simply, I give back because it’s the right thing to do. There are many choices here in the Gunnison Valley for volunteer service and monetary donations – I am personally drawn to causes that focus on our youth, and the economic sustainability for the future of our valley. While in the big picture my donations are small, I also hope that my giving may inspire others to follow suit who may not otherwise realize the impact they can make, regardless of the amount.

Crested Butte Dallas

My Event in Dallas Every Year

For over ten years I have hosted an annual event in Dallas Texas in November at Royal Oaks Country Club. It is a fun and informative event. I select a speaker to come from Crested Butte to Dallas to talk about their organization and how it is affecting the lives of so many in Crested Butte.  I pay for this event every year because it is another way I can give back to the community by connecting great Crested Butte organizations and non-profits with Crested Butte second homeowners, enthusiasts and my clients in Dallas.

2019 Donation / Pledge to the Center for the Arts $25,000

2019 Donation, $5,000 to Rocky Mountain Biological Lab

2018 Donation, $5,000 to Rocky Mountain Biological Lab

2018 Donation, $10,000 to The Center for the Arts Crested Butte

Crested Butte Center for the ArtsI am donating $25,000 to the Crested Butte Center for the Arts Capital Campaign because I believe it is important to give back to the Crested Butte Community, and the new facility will be a great addition to the things that make Crested Butte a Special Place. On a beautiful autumn day in Crested Butte I presented Jenny Birnie – Executive Director, The Center for the Arts with the big check.

The Center for the Arts is located in downtown Crested Butte and is a true community arts center and serving as the home for ten (10) local arts programs

The new 300 seat Center For The Arts will be much more than the current facility – it will also host the Trailhead Children’s Museum, Crested Butte School of Dance and the Crested Butte Dance Collective, the Piper Art Gallery, a Culinary and Catering Kitchen, Workshop rooms to host Crested Butte Community School curriculum, Space for Visual Arts programs and a Clay Studio, and more.

I have also supported and donated to the Biery-Witt Center in Mt. Crested Butte and those funds were directed to the Center for the Arts.

Donations $5,000 to The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab

Rocky Mountain Biological Lab Donation
This is from 2012 – We look younger then!

The Rocky Mountain Biological Lab (RMBL) is a unique non-profit here at the North end of our valley. They are located in the historic town site of Gothic and at the base of the majestic Gothic mountain with offices in downtown Crested Butte. Every summer more than 100 scientists and students travel here from around the world to conduct high altitude research in this pristine mountain setting. I have had the opportunity to get to know Ian Billick – the Executive Director of RMBL, and in addition to coordinating a vast array of scientific projects, personnel, capital projects, land acquisitions, and a new Visitors Center, he is also committed to educational outreach. I support his vision which includes providing educational programs for both youth and adults. Every year they work with local biology students at the Crested Butte Community School to study the Slate River where they measure the water quality, collect and analyze the aquatic insects, and take soil samples. They also provide a long list of summer programs available to youth and adults including their Kid’s Nature Camp, and Adult Science Tours that explore our mountain meadows, forests, and streams. RMBL is providing empirical data that will help causes around the world, and contributes to the uniqueness of our valley, one more ingredient that makes Crested Butte a special place.

Chris is outstanding! We recently bought a second home in Crested Butte and Chris did a great job throughout the whole process. He has a thorough understanding of the market and the benefits and drawbacks of various locations. He was very patient with us as our preferences evolved throughout the search. He gave us valuable information on which to negotiate the purchase. He had great follow-up during the inspection/closing process (when we were not in town) and made sure all of the commitments made by the seller were properly completed.
