The Aspen Root Guild is an exclusive sponsorship opportunity that forms the foundational root system of The Aspen Effect. With operating costs of $1,000 per day, Guild members commit to covering a set number of days each year for five years. This sustained partnership ensures the stability, growth, and lasting impact of The Aspen Effect. In return, The Aspen Effect will collaborate with each member to create customized value that aligns with their goals and priorities.

Fidelis Wealth Advisors became the FIRST member of the Aspen Root Guild in August 2025 pledging 3 days support or $3K each year from 2026 to 2030.  Thank you Fidelis Wealth Advisors! Additionally, owner Sam Tenney has offered to increase their pledge to $10K each year if two other members make this same multi-year pledge. Fidelis Wealth is also our matching partner during the 2025 Colorado Gives campaign. We invite YOU to become a member and pledge $10K or more to help grow and sustain our impact on youth in Douglas County.
