For the love of Park County
Over the past 18 years, the Park County Community Foundation has grown into the largest foundation focused solely on the livability of Park County, granting close to $19 million locally. The result of true collective effort, PCCF has strengthened the community’s way of coming together and solving local challenges.
Community is our middle name.
We are your neighbors, your local community foundation committed to building a stronger Park County for generations to come.
The Need
Our county is growing, perhaps faster than most of us would like.
This growth places high demands on our nonprofit community. These nonprofits, critical to our future, don’t lack ideas, passion or talent to address our challenges and opportunities. They lack funding.
The Park County Community Foundation provides direct support to local nonprofits working to address the challenges facing Park County. Grounding our work in citizen input and data is our most effective tool for deep community impact. Informed by the public, we focus our giving in the following We Will Community Priority Areas:
Landscapes and Natural Amenities
Housing and Affordability
Health, Safety and Education
Small Town and Rural Lifestyle
Economic Performance
