Building Health Communities Collaborative - $5,000

​In partnership with Yampa Valley Autism Program (YVAP), students in the Community Cultivation Program planted, maintained, and cultivated food using produce pods from Paonia Soil Company. Produce was sold at the Steamboat Farmers Market where students practiced using life skills necessary for independence. All proceeds from the market benefited students in the program.

Freinds of Wilderness - $3,000

​An influx in outdoor recreation has created unforeseen strains on natural spaces, including an increase in trash, illegal campfires, and dog and human waste. To promote proper trail and wilderness etiquette, Friends of Wilderness (FOW) created the Wilderness Protection Promises campaign. In partnership with Routt County US Forest Service, FOW created posters to distribute at local trailheads, campsites, and businesses.

Main street
​steamboat springs - $1,500

Gift cards were purchased at local restaurants and given to families and individuals in need. Grant funding provided a meal to 60 families and individuals in need in Routt County.
