Eagle Valley Community Foundation (EVCF) connects neighbors to nourishment, health, opportunity, and one another—because every day in our valley begins with a story.We are a convener and bridge-builder, inspiring collective action around local challenges while keeping our ear to the ground and responding quickly to the most urgent and emerging needs. Through every program, partnership, and initiative, we work to ensure community members can write new chapters filled with dignity, belonging, and possibility.
Grounded in equity, inclusiveness, and economic empowerment, EVCF meets people where they are and tailors our programs to the culture, neighborhood, and strengths of each family we serve. Our core areas of impact include:
Healthy food access and food systems change through The Community Market, ensuring every neighbor can choose fresh, nourishing food with dignity.
Health, wellness, and resource navigation through MIRA, bringing care, screenings, and referrals directly into neighborhoods.
Leadership, entrepreneurship, and economic mobility through Elevar, uplifting community leaders and BIPOC entrepreneurs as they build businesses and shape systems.
Nonprofit capacity building and shared services through Fiscal Sponsorship, strengthening the ecosystem of organizations serving Eagle County.
More than 4,500 community members each week connect with EVCF through our programs. But beyond the numbers is the story of one:
One neighbor who no longer has to choose between heating their home and a healthy meal.One parent who finally received preventive care after years of going without.One entrepreneur who gained the confidence and capital to open a business that supports their family and strengthens our local economy.
These stories guide us. They shape our work. And, with your support, they become new chapters of resilience, health, and hope.
