Our belief that South Fork Colorado is simply a great place to live and raise a family is at the core of our work at the foundation. We are constantly striving to identify the needs of the community and to implement programs and provide grants to fulfill those needs. We follow 5 guiding principles, which help define our approach to our philanthropic work. We are an all volunteer organization and invite all members of the community to participate in our projects.

Volunteering to work with the Greater South Fork Community Foundation is fun and a great way to get to know our fine citizens and be a part of the community. We have lots of different kinds of opportunities. Call any Board Member to talk about how you can get involved or email us at info@southforkfoundation.org

We strive to meet the needs of the community through both responsive and initiative based grants to tax-exempt private agencies, public charities and government agencies in the greater South Fork area. Visit our GRANTS pages to see the many organizations that we support.

The Foundation sponsors many ongoing projects including Junior Achievement at the Del Norte Schools, the Home Tours and Community Beautification, Riverwalk Town Center, and Brown Memorial Park.

GSFCF was established in 2003 as an affiliate of the Pikes Peak Community Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. The Pikes Peak Community Foundation serves as the fiscal sponsor of our activities so that contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Funding has been obtained through local residents and businesses, second homeowners, visitors and special events.
