Liz Tara Losinski serves as the Foundation’s Director of Grants and Programs where she helps lead the Foundation’s grantmaking and works closely with nonprofits across Colorado and the country. She joined the Foundation in 2019 after moving to Denver from Washington, D.C., bringing experience in fundraising for human service and public policy organizations. Liz Tara is a graduate of Hillsdale College and earned her MBA from the University of Denver.

When she’s not working, Liz Tara enjoys keeping up with her big family, traveling with her husband, and perfecting her hummus recipe, an endeavor she takes perhaps a little too seriously. After several years in Colorado, she proudly considers herself an adopted Coloradan and enjoys joining the throngs of skiers and moose admirers in the mountains. While she wouldn’t claim to be Colorado-born, the permanently installed ski rack on her truck has convinced many people otherwise.

Colorado native Carrie Tynan thinks she has the best job in the world. As the Foundation’s Chief Executive Officer, she oversees all Foundation operations, both charitable and non-charitable, and implements the trustees’ vision for America. She loves visiting nonprofits and learning how they are improving the lives of the people in their communities as well as finding new, innovative ways to have a larger impact. She says she is consistently impressed by the range of life-changing services nonprofits provide to Coloradans, and inspired by the way policy groups fight to protect our individual freedoms. Carrie jokes, “I’ve never met a nonprofit that I didn’t like. If I were solely in charge of funding decisions, there probably wouldn’t be much money left!”

Before joining the Foundation, Carrie spent five years as an English teacher at J.K. Mullen High School. A graduate of the University of Texas, Carrie is involved with numerous nonprofits across the country and in the Denver area. Carrie and her husband are also busy parents keeping up with their two active kids. As a family, they all love anything outdoors, including golfing, skiing, hunting, and attending Colorado sporting events.

As a program officer since 2022, Rosemary enjoys bringing her experience from the non-profit, think tank, and private sector to her work connecting mission-aligned organizations with the resources they need to make an impact. While she has a soft spot in her heart for the Colorado’s rural regions, Rosemary isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions of each nonprofit…but don’t worry, she always does so with a smile.

Rosemary originally hails from the (second most) beautiful state, Washington, where she previously worked for the Washington Policy Center. She is a graduate of Franciscan University of Steubenville. Staying true to her outdoorsy Pacific Northwest roots, when not in the office you can find Rosemary tracking down the best hikes, camping sites, and exploring the many mountain towns in Colorado. Don’t be surprised if you also find her trying out the many coffee shops (a great place for site visits) and all the breweries Denver and Colorado have to offer.

Nicole Jennings is the person who keeps the Foundation running…and somehow manages to do it all with a smile. As the Foundation’s Grant Manager and Executive Assistant, she is the friendly voice that greets callers, the mastermind behind schedules and meetings, and the person making sure the staff is well supplied with everything from grants paperwork to coffee and treats. If something needs to get done, Nicole either already has a plan for it or is working on one.

With more than a decade of client-focused experience, Nicole brings exceptional organization, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for helping others. She thrives on keeping projects moving, solving problems, and making life easier for those around her. Her coworkers know they can count on her for just about anything…and usually with a laugh along the way.

Nicole’s favorite, and most rewarding job, is being a mom. Her three boys keep on her toes, challenge her daily life, and make sure life is never boring. Whether she’s cheering from the sidelines, helping navigate life’s adventures, or celebrating her sons’ accomplishments, Nicole is always their biggest fan. She is also a proud wife of a military veteran and the mother of an Air Force Airman.

When she’s not at the office, Nicole enjoys traveling and has been known to pack for a spontaneous adventure in record time. She believes life is best lived with a sense of purpose, a spirit of adventure, and a well-stocked snack drawer.

Ivette Diaz is passionate about people and their potential. As Program Officer, she loves meeting nonprofit leaders, seeing their work firsthand, and championing the ways they strengthen their communities. Ivette has filled a range of roles in the nonprofit sector, from designing mentoring programs on Skid Row in Los Angeles to advancing faith-based and community initiatives and policy education in Washington, D.C. Most recently, she worked for Stand Together Foundation and previously led The LIBRE Institute for seven years.

Ivette earned her bachelor’s degree in communications from Azusa Pacific University and earned a minor in Spanish in the Dominican Republic. Originally from Southern California, she has called Colorado home since 2012. She enjoys cheering for the Broncos and the Dodgers (a combination that occasionally confuses people but makes perfect send to her), discovering new coffee shops, and spending time with family wherever she can. Her friends know that if there is a meaningful conversation to be had, or a good cup of coffee to be found, Ivette is all in.

Ivette is thrilled to be part of the Adolph Coors Foundation’s legacy of impact and is inspired by the changemakers driving transformation across Colorado and nationally.

Mike Davis wants to make idealism practical. He comes to the Foundation from the world of public policy, with experience at policy think tanks as well as evaluating state agencies on behalf of the state legislature. He is continually amazed by the work nonprofits are doing and brings a discerning eye from his time in government to ensure Foundation dollars are put to their best and highest use.

Mike received his law degree from the University of Notre Dame and has a B.A. from Asbury University. Originally from Nevada, Colorado makes Mike’s 8^th (and hopefully last!) state of residence. He and his wife love sharing books over coffee, when they’re not skiing. They have one daughter and three dogs. His three dogs remain unconvinced that Colorado is his final state of residence.
