Founded in 1919, Zonta International is a global organization of executives and professionals working together to advance the status of women worldwide through service and advocacy. With more than 30,000 members belonging to more than 1,200 Zonta Clubs in 64 countries and geographic areas, Zontians all over the world volunteer their time, talents and support to local and international service projects, as well as scholarship programs aimed at fulfilling Zonta's mission and objectives.

The Zonta Club of Fort Collins supports many types of programs and projects that support single Mom's and high school young women in Northern Colorado. Over the years we are proud to have supported a growing community art and education project called "Living Her Legacy" founded by one of our longstanding club members and Fort Collins residents, Patti Smith. Learn more here: www.LivingHerLegacy.org
The Zonta Club of Fort Collins was chartered in 1997 yet our work in community advocacy spans over 40 years. Club members work together on advocacy projects, fundraising to provide scholarship opportunities to local single Moms, assisting our community partners by helping to increase awareness of assistance available to local women who are victims of violence and human trafficking, and both annual and special events . Our parent organization, Zonta International, celebrated 100 years of advocacy for women in 2019. As a celebration our club curated a photograph/personal story exhibit at the Global Village Museum titled ‘Inspirational Women – Rising through Adversity’, October 2019-February 2020. On International Women’s Day 2020 we jointly produced a live presentation with the Bas Blue Theater called ‘Engaging Voices’. In 2020 we hosted our first live Facebook event ‘Beware and Be Aware of Domestic Violence’ with a forum of local leaders from organizations that provide legal assistance, education and shelter for victims of domestic and sexual violence. We invite you to explore our website and attend one of our meetings to learn more.
