2018 Annual Report
Dear Friends,
One of the primary tenets of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation has always been “connecting people who care with causes that matter.” In 2018, the Board of Trustees embarked upon a lengthy strategic planning process to enhance the programs and services we provide to our many donors and local nonprofit organizations.
With Continued growth in the Yampa Valley, it is vital that the Community Foundation expands its expertise in both philanthropic and nonprofit services. Our new strategic direction will allow us to dedicate more time and energy to support our community in these areas. So whether you are seeking information on nonprofit board management, or how to establish a donor-advised fund, or understanding the current needs in Northwest Colorado, or making a contribution that extends beyond your lifetime, the Yampa Valley Community Foundation is the trusted resource to consult.

2016 Annual Report:
The 2016 Annual report recognizes our community’s generous donors and highlights our nonprofit partnerships. It also shares the stories of donors who believe that, working through the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, they have the power to make a real difference. The impact in 2016 was enormous. Made possible by 1,221 unique donor gifts, we granted in excess of $1.5 million that benefited 186 nonprofit organizations and the thousands of individuals and causes they serve. In addition, $162,000 in scholarship awards helped 90 students further their education.
However, we strive to do much more than distribute grant dollars. Through supporting and educating our donors we help them focus on their individual interests as well as maximizing their charitable giving. By growing our community endowments, we secure a permanently vital and healthy future for the Yampa Valley. By empowering our nonprofits, we strengthen their work and accomplishments.
Looking forward, we intend to broaden the Foundation’s impact. Philanthropy is better as a collaborative effort; working together we can cultivate and add value to philanthropic passions and create positive, lasting change for our citizens and communities.
