Community Support Funding (City of Steamboat Springs)
The City of Steamboat Springs Community Support Funding has provided nearly $5.5 million over the past decade to qualifying organizations across the Yampa Valley. City Council allocates several hundred thousand dollars each year to assist community organizations that fall within one of the following coalitions: Arts & Culture, Environmental, and Human Resource. Applications are ranked on a set of criteria by a selection committee with expertise in the coalition focus.
Community Support requests must relate to the following criteria:
- Activity/program reduces city service requirements and/or aligns with City Council’s Mission, Vision and Values.
- The grant is not more than 30% of the organization’s total budget.
- Organization indicates there is strength/diversity among their other funding sources.
The Yampa Valley Community Foundation serves on the steering committee for these annual grants.
In 2025 the City of Steamboat Springs directed $851,902 to support 42 different agencies and organizations serving the community. Awards varied from $2,000 to $61,000.
