The Paul Cuthbertson Foundation is dedicated to investing in the next generation of young women and men who have a passion for pursuing excellence in sports, education, music and the arts.
Our 501(c)(3) Foundation provides The Live for Those Who Cannot Scholarships to youth who have deep ties to a Colorado mountain community. We prioritize individuals ages 13-25 that can demonstrate a financial need, have a strong work ethic, are dedicated to mentoring other youth and are deeply involved in their community. Previous scholarship recipients are eligible to apply for funding if they can demonstrate that additional support would further strengthen their ability to achieve their individual goals. Scholarships range in size from $500 to $5,000.
Since its inception in 2019, the Foundation has awarded nearly $115,000 to extraordinary individuals who demonstrate intellectual curiosity, fierce determination, and a passion for the mountains. Our grantees have excelled in a variety of fields, including music, fashion design, soccer, medical and nursing school, acting, dance, videography, and dual biomedical and engineering studies. We also proudly support athletes in competitive mountain biking, US Ski Team Paralympics, World Cup alpine skiing, freestyle and slopestyle skiing, Nordic skiing, and competitive snowboarding. To date, we have given awards to 60 recipients.
Join us in celebrating these remarkable achievements and supporting the future of many more deserving young talents by making a donation today. Your contributions have helped make a significant impact.
Mission
To support youth who have deep ties to a Colorado mountain community, share a passion for life and a dedication to achieving excellence in their pursuits in sports, education, music or the arts.
Purpose
The purpose of The Paul Cuthbertson Foundation is to invest in the next generation of young men and women by providing merit-based scholarships that help them to pursue their dream and goals in life with a focus on sports, education, music or the arts.
Founded in 2019 in honor of Paul Cuthbertson who passed away on his 21st birthday on his way to meet co-workers for a backcountry hut trip.
“Live for those who cannot” is a philosophy that Paul created, lived by, and had tattooed on his forearm after losing friends and family before their time.
In memory of Paul and this approach to life, the foundation created the "Live for Those Who Cannot Scholarship".
