Summary
This foundation serves a region spanning from Aspen to Parachute, Colorado, working to support the well‑being of children, youth, families, and communities broadly. The foundation provides grants to nonprofit organizations — not to for‑profit businesses or individuals — that deliver services or programs in that region.
The foundation offers a variety of grant types depending on community needs and program focus. One major program supports early‑childhood care and education, helping organizations provide quality early‑learning and childcare services for children from birth to age five. Another program focuses on youth empowerment, supporting initiatives that foster resilience, educational opportunity, social and emotional well‑being, and pathways to success for youth. The foundation also offers human‑services funding to support essential needs such as safety-net services, and supports general community grantmaking to address social services, health, and other community infrastructure. Some smaller grants support community events and cultural or community-building efforts.
Organizations eligible for funding are nonprofit entities (or fiscally sponsored nonprofits) that serve residents in the Aspen‑to‑Parachute region. Proposals must align with the foundation’s priorities: early childhood care and education, youth support and empowerment, human services and basic needs, or broader community welfare. The foundation generally looks for programs that are equitable, accessible and responsive to community needs.
Grant amounts depend on the program: for example, the early‑childhood grant program recently made available a fund of $250,000 for the cycle, with typical grant requests falling in the $10,000–$35,000 range. The foundation’s pooled grantmaking program awarded $835,000 in one recent year, distributed among dozens of nonprofits. Another giving‑network initiative distributed $675,000 to nonprofits addressing critical community needs such as children and families, mental health, and basic needs.
Grant cycles and deadlines vary by program. For early‑childhood and youth‑empowerment grants, applications typically open in late spring. The foundation also runs community grantmaking annually, accepting and processing applications for broader organizational support.
Overall, the goal of these grants is to strengthen the capacity of nonprofits to deliver vital services and supports that promote healthy development for children and youth, meet basic needs, support families, and build community strength and resilience in the Aspen‑Parachute region.
