CFGV Partners Make a Real Impact

Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley is nestled high in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. We inspire and connect people so everyone can thrive. We strengthen and enrich the community through engaged philanthropy, thoughtful grantmaking, strategic education, and collaborative leadership.

CFGV was formed in 2007 when the Crested Butte Community Foundation and the Gunnison Area Community Foundation united as one organization to serve the entire Gunnison Valley. Explore more about CFGV and our mission, vision, history, and more.

How a Marathon Parallels the Nonprofit Sector

My birthday is in October. This year, I decided to run a marathon to celebrate. My marathon experience is parallel to much of our work at CFGV. The visible part was race day, but that was only a sliver of preparation that went into success.
