Community Grantmaking Fund

Funds

Collective Giving. Local Impact.

The Wet Mountain Valley Community Foundation’s Community Grantmaking Fund empowers donors to strengthen our community through shared, high-impact grantmaking. Instead of establishing an individual donor-advised fund, you can contribute to a collaborative pool that supports local nonprofits across a range of needs—from animal welfare and education to arts, health, and land preservation.

Grants are awarded twice annually, with a minimum grant size of $1,000. Donors may indicate focus areas and may also opt to support youth engagement in philanthropy through our Youth in Philanthropy Initiative (YIPI).

This flexible, purpose-restricted fund is overseen by the WMVCF Board and Development Committee, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment with our mission.

Ways to Get Involved:

  • Make a one-time or recurring donation
  • Recommend a focus area for your gift
  • Designate a representative to carry on your donor intent
  • Encourage local youth by participating in YIPI

Fill out the Donor Intent Form for this fund before donating.

Every gift is tax-deductible and subject to a low administrative fee to support fund management.

Join us in making a greater impact—together.
