Community Priority Areas

What We Look For

Funding decisions are based on the following priorities:

  • Alignment with the community issues highlighted in the We Will Park County visioning process.

  • Clarity about how the program will impact Park County, both in terms of how many residents will be served and which communities within Park County will most benefit from the programming.

  • Demonstrated support from funding sources in addition to PCCF grant funds.

Please note that the Community Foundation is not currently offering any multi-year funding opportunities.
