The Wright is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Denver, Colorado, dedicated to promoting the economic and cultural vitality of Colorado communities. Grounded in outdoor-inspired collaboration, it brings together innovators, place-makers, and forward-thinking organizations to spark ideas, strengthen connections, and advance a shared understanding of how work should evolve in the state. It began life as Something Independent in 2010, a collaboration with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade to spotlight outdoor-inspired entrepreneurs and foster ties between small businesses and economic-development entities. The organization's work has grown into a portfolio of programs including The Wright Summit & Awards, Economics of Soul, Trade School, and Co:Built, reflecting its focus on leadership, education, and community engagement. It operates in a civic and economic-development ecosystem, partnering with local and regional entities and community-serving organizations to support outdoor stewardship and sustainable Colorado communities. A recent development noted is a collaboration with mountainFLOW eco-wax as part of a collegiate challenge involving students from Western State University and Colorado Mesa University, illustrating ongoing partnerships with external organizations and institutions.
