Park County Community Foundation is building a trusted local home for philanthropy across Park County. We make giving easier, strengthen local nonprofits and initiatives and help communities respond together when needs and opportunities emerge.
PCCF exists for the people and places of Park County: Alma, Bailey, Como, Fairplay, Grant, Guffey, Hartsel, Jefferson, Lake George, Pine Junction, Shawnee and the surrounding rural communities that make this county home. Your gift helps support flexible local grantmaking through our impact pillars: healthy people, learning opportunities, connected communities, arts, culture and natural places, local vitality and resilient Park County to build nonprofit capacity and the long-term systems Park County needs to care for its neighbors.
Keep giving to the nonprofits you love; PCCF adds another way to invest in countywide needs and build lasting community strength.
The Park County Community Foundation amplifies local initiatives through philanthropy and collaboration.
The idea behind Park County Community Foundation grew from work that began in 2020, when a six year youth substance use prevention effort showed what could happen when local resources were used to strengthen the organizations already serving Park County.
Instead of building new programs where community capacity already existed, PCCF’s founders focused on listening, partnering, and investing in efforts that could reduce risk factors and build protective factors for young people, families, and the wider community. Over time, that approach directed over $100,000 to local organizations and helped shape a model rooted in trust, collaboration, and local stewardship.
That experience became the seed of PCCF’s broader purpose: to create a permanent local foundation that can bring donors, nonprofits, businesses, and community partners together around shared needs and opportunities. Sponsored initiatives like Helping Youth Vision & Engagement (HYVE) and the Green Thumb Initiative began in that early prevention work and continue today as examples of PCCF’s partner before build approach; mobilizing resources, engaging capable partners, and removing barriers without duplicating direct services.
