2023 Community Grantees

“We are very grateful for financial support from CFGV, but we also value the process of writing a proposal to the Foundation. It requires us to clearly identify what we want to achieve and explain the impacts of our efforts. Proposal writing influences our planning process so that we can be more effective at positively contributing to our community.”

A crowd of nonprofits smile at the generosity of local donors at the annual awards ceremony.

“When Gunnison Valley Mentors had the opportunity to transform Gunnison’s oldest standing public building into the 8th Street School Mentoring Center, we needed a way to separate capital funds from operating funds.  We placed our complete trust in the Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley to help us do so.  Who better than the CFGV to help any of us oversee the growth and preservation of a community legacy?”
