Mission and programs · 2025

• 1. THROUGH OUR ANNUAL GRANT CYCLE, $713,960 WAS GRANTED OUT TO 87 NONPROFITS.2. OVER $646,650 IN SCHOLARSHIPS WERE GRANTED TO 131 STUDENTS ATTENDING 72 UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES AND VOCATIONAL TRADE SCHOOLS. THIS INCLUDES OVER $192,000 FOR STUDENTS WITH FINANCIAL NEED AS DETERMINED BY FAFSA.3. PERHAPS THE SINGLE MOST IMPACTFUL ACCOMPLISHMENT IN THE FOUNDATIONS HISTORY WAS ITS SUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO SAVE CASEYS POND IN 2024. THE 138-BED FACILITY PROVIDES CRITICAL INDEPENDENT LIVING, ASSISTED LIVING, AND SKILLED NURSING CARE TO THE YAMPA VALLEY COMMUNITY. WITHIN JUST THREE MONTHS OF THE FACILITY BEING PLACED INTO RECEIVERSHIP, MORE THAN $30 MILLION WAS RAISED FROM 421 DONORS. TODAY, CASEYS POND IS OPERATING AT FULL CAPACITY WITH A HEALTHY WAIT LIST AND RECEIVED $700,000 IN GRANTS FROM THE YAMPA VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION IN 2025, UNDERSCORING THE FOUNDATIONS ONGOING COMMITMENT TO ENSURING THE FACILITY REMAINS FINANCIALLY VIABLE AND A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY ASSET.4. IN MARCH 2025, THE FOUNDATION ISSUED ITS FIRST IMPACT INVESTMENT LOAN FROM THE LONG-TERM INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO (LTIP) AND COMPLETED FOUR ADDITIONAL IMPACT LOANS OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR. IMPACT INVESTMENTS MAY COMPRISE UP TO 5% OF THE LTIPS TOTAL BALANCE. BY AUTHORIZING LOANS FROM THE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO, THE FOUNDATION IS ABLE TO DEPLOY CAPITAL FOR DIRECT SOCIAL IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITY WHILE CONTINUING TO GENERATE MODEST FINANCIAL RETURNS.5. IN AUGUST 2025, THE YAMPA VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WAS DESIGNATED BY THE STATE OF COLORADO AS A COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTION PROJECT WITHIN THE NORTHWEST COLORADO ENTERPRISE ZONE. ANNUAL DONATIONS OF $250 OR MORE TO THE YVCF GENERAL OPERATING FUND AND DESIGNATED FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES MAY QUALIFY FOR THE COLORADO ENTERPRISE ZONE TAX CREDIT. AS IT IS QUITE RARE FOR COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS TO BE APPROVED FOR THE EZ TAX CREDIT FOR DONATIONS TO GENERAL OPERATING, THIS DESIGNATION DEMONSTRATES THAT YVCFS WORK IS UNDERSTOOD TO PLAY A DIRECT AND CRITICAL ROLE IN TACKLING CURRENT CHALLENGES FACED BY THE COMMUNITIES OF NORTHWEST COLORADO.6. IN RESPONSE TO THE ELK, LEE, AND CROSHO WILDFIRES IN NORTHWEST COLORADO, THE YAMPA VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ACTIVATED THE YAMPA VALLEY DISASTER RECOVERY FUND, ALONG WITH FUNDS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR ELK & LEE RECOVERY AND CROSHO RECOVERY. IN 2025, DONATIONS TO THESE THREE FUNDS EXCEEDED $278,000, WITH MORE THAN $175,000 GRANTED TO BUSINESSES AND INDIVIDUALS DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE FIRES. THE FOUNDATION ANTICIPATES ADDITIONAL GRANT REQUESTS IN SPRING 2026 AS EXPECTED EROSION FROM RAINFALL IN THE SPRING IS LIKELY TO CAUSE EROSION WHICH WILL IMPACT AGRICULTURAL DITCHES, PASTURES, AND CULVERTS.7. YAMPA VALLEY COMMUNITY FOUNDATION WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN LEADERSHIP ON CONVENING, VISIONING AND FUNDRAISING OF A NEW MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM CALLED THE HOPE INITIATIVE, INCLUDING ESTABLISHMENT OF THE HOPE INITIATIVE FUND TO FUNDRAISE FOR THE INITIAL TWO-YEAR PILOT OF THIS PROGRAM. THIS PROJECT WILL BE LAUNCHED IN ROUTT COUNTY UNDER THE HEALTH PARTNERSHIP, AND AIMS TO FILL A MAJOR GAP IN OUR EXISTING MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES, PROVIDING A COMMUNITY-WIDE PEER SUPPORT SYSTEM ON A 24/7 WARM LINE AS A FRONT-DOOR SINGLE-ENTRY POINT FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO BE CONNECTED TO SUPPORT AND RESOURCES, REFERRALS, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUD TREATMENT, AND CRISIS PREVENTION AND RESPONSE TEAMS.8. THE FOUNDATIONS' PASSPORT CLUB, THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STEAMBOAT SKI & RESORT CORPORATION, HAS GENERATED OVER $10.4 MILLION. THESE CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE PROVIDED GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHIPS INTO THE COMMUNITY AND SUPPORTED THE OPERATIONS OF THE FOUNDATION FOR OVER 30 YEARS.

As filed on the 2025 return.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
