 gIVING TOGETHER - $10,000

​Giving Together is a fund situated at the Pikes Peak Community Foundation (PPCF) that provides a space for co-funding amongst foundations or donor advised funds. In 2021, we worked alongside six local funders to provide a $60,000 multi-year grant to support the implementation of the services provided by Catchafire to the Pikes Peak Region from 2022-2024. Catchafire is an organization that makes skill-based connections between professional volunteers and nonprofits through a web-based platform. Organizations post projects based on their needs and volunteers in turn select to assist with projects based on their skill sets.

WORKFORCE HOUSING FUND  - $25,000

The Pikes Peak Real Estate Foundation, alongside other local funders, established the Workforce Housing Fund in 2021.  The Fund provides a competitive application process that works to select and support workforce housing development project(s) in the Pikes Peak Region. The Fund is a revolving loan fund. Awards to projects are expected to be returned with interest when construction financing is closed. 

In 2021, the fund supported Silver Key’s tax credit application to develop 50 units of senior housing. Support for this initiative will help to combat senior housing challenges and isolation in the Pikes Peak region amid the affordable housing shortage.

​WE FORTIFY - $30,000

We Fortify provides housing to at-risk, young, adults that are aging out of the foster system. They seek to propel young adults experiencing economic and housing instability forward into lives of purpose and economic independence. To accomplish this goal, the organization has established Working Fusion At Mill Street - a tiny home village for at-risk adults. The project provides a neighborhood community atmosphere that offers supportive services and individualized growth plans to clients. In partnership with the Petriz Family Foundation, we helped to purchase one of the 18 tiny homes intend for the site.
