Bright Future Foundation is Eagle County’s only nonprofit dedicated to the prevention and intervention of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. For more than four decades, we have stood as a lifeline for survivors—providing safety, healing, and hope in the face of trauma. Our mission is to empower individuals and families affected by violence to lead safe, productive lives through prevention education, advocacy, and comprehensive support services.
At the heart of our work is BrightHouse, Eagle County’s first and only emergency shelter, offering immediate refuge and long-term support to survivors and their children. Our integrated model of care includes crisis intervention, counseling, legal advocacy, housing assistance, youth mentorship, and community education. All services are provided free of charge and are designed to meet survivors where they are, supporting each person’s unique path toward healing and self-sufficiency.
In addition to direct services, Bright Future Foundation places a strong emphasis on prevention. We reach thousands of students each year with evidence-based curricula that promote healthy relationships and help break the cycle of violence before it begins. Through community outreach, trainings, and public awareness initiatives, we are shifting the conversation around interpersonal violence and building a more informed, compassionate community.
Bright Future Foundation is supported by a committed staff, board of directors, and team of volunteers. We work in partnership with schools, healthcare providers, law enforcement, and local agencies to ensure a coordinated, survivor-centered response across Eagle County.
We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from fear and harm. With the support of our generous donors and partners, we continue to make that vision a reality—one survivor, one family, and one future at a time.
Bright Future Foundation empowers families and individuals affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. As Eagle County's only community-based domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and trafficking agency, Bright Future Foundation serves clients with prevention, crisis intervention, advocacy, and long-term healing services.
Bright Future Foundation began in 1984 as the Women’s Resource Center, a grassroots volunteer group offering crisis services and temporary shelter in volunteers’ homes. As demand grew, the organization expanded steadily, opening Freedom Ranch Safehouse in 2002—the first emergency shelter in Eagle County—and launching the Rapid ReHousing Program in 2005.
In 2008, the organization rebranded as Bright Future Foundation, shifting to a professionally staffed, survivor-centered advocacy model. To further address barriers to safe housing, the Ensuring Freedom Program launched in 2017, followed by the BrightHouse, a purpose-built emergency housing facility that opened in 2021, offering integrated access to the Foundation’s wraparound services.
Today, Bright Future Foundation supports over 950 survivors annually through crisis intervention, advocacy, and long-term healing. The organization provides more than 20,000 nights of safe housing each year and is recognized as a statewide model for its comprehensive approach. In 2023, Sacred Cycle merged with Bright Future Foundation, expanding services to include wilderness-based and clinical therapy for survivors of sexual trauma.
