The Grand Foundation Truly Makes Life 'Grand'
When we think about the effect the Grand Foundation has had on the quality of life in Grand County since its inception in 1996, there's no question that they have and continue to enrich our community in powerful ways. From Winter Park to Grand Lake to Kremmling, the work the Grand Foundation does tangibly touches lives. Their quick response and ability to centralize giving, raise awareness, and disperse funds after the devastating East Troublesome Fire is a testament to the foundation's commitment to our community.
The scope of their partnerships and support is far-reaching. As the glue that binds the nonprofit sector in the county together, the Grand Foundation partners with organizations to support health & human services, arts & culture, education, amateur sports and the environment by raising funds and overseeing the distribution of funds. If it's a nonprofit in Grand County, Grand Foundation probably helps support it in some capacity! Whether supporting a local family in paying for extracurriculars, providing funds for free after school tutoring at local elementary schools, pioneering access to mental health support, or providing housing assistance, the board members and staff are constantly assessing current and future needs and pursuing avenues to meet them. They have granted over $19.3 million to more than 500 Grand County organizations that provide essential services and programs. And those numbers keep growing! West + Main is a proud corporate sponsor of the Grand Foundation. We are grateful to play a small part in supporting such a vital organization in our community!
