Grants
There are two ways to receive grant funds from the Community Foundation:
Donor advised Grant Funds
Donor advised funds at the Yampa Valley Community Foundation allow donors to recommend grants to their preferred charitable causes, with approval by Community Foundation Board of Directors. Most donor advisors already know which projects they want to support, but some do not. The Yampa Valley Community Foundation staff is happy to connect donors to causes that matter to them. The staff is very knowledgeable about the community’s needs and where support could be most beneficial.
Community Grant Fund
The Yampa Valley Community Foundation has two Community Grant round per year. The grant rounds allow the Community Foundation to see the broad perspective of the Community’s needs and use grant funds to their fullest potential. Grant proposals are solicited from organizations in Routt and Moffat counties. The grant proposals are researched and analyzed by the Grants Committee, which is made up of local community volunteers, and shared with Donor Advisors who have created a Donor Advised Fund. Grants are awarded to organizations and programs that best demonstrate an impact on community needs. Please click here for details. Grant proposals are due on March 15th and September 15th with funding in early June and December respectively.
The Steamboat Ski & Resort Corporation (SS&RC) Employee Environmental Fund and the SS&RC Recreation Fund operate in conjunction with the Community Grant round. Grants from these donor advised funds support environmental and recreation projects in the valley. |
