As we approach the end of 2023, we celebrate our continued growth and impact in the Yampa Valley. This year, we proudly delivered our largest Community Grant Cycle, giving out nearly $542,000 to 70 local nonprofits; awarded the largest ever amount of scholarships ($529K) to 144 local students; and reached a new peak in total assets of over $60 million.

This is the one time of year when we solicit gifts for our own operating costs. Such donations are highly leveraged: for every $100 we receive in operating support, we raise and grant back out over $4,000. We’re proud to be able to deliver that kind of return on your generous investment.

Next year will be an exciting time as we commemorate the Foundation’s 40^th year and celebrate its achievements. We know that through the power of philanthropy, we can continue to preserve the qualities that make the Yampa Valley such a special place to live, work, learn and play – for everyone.
