Powering collective action to meet local needs.
We are a unique community foundation, providing responsive solutions for our neighbors in need. We address food insecurity, provide health & wellness resources, support nonprofit capacity building and help build community leadership among people of color. We empower individuals and families to gain a hand up, not a hand out.
For many, our picturesque county is also a picture of soaring costs and the inability to make ends meet. Many in our community rely on our programs to help fill the gaps in their lives when they need it most.
Offering barrier-free access to vital health and human service resources.
Providing access to free, nutrient-rich food across the county.
Supporting leadership capacity building for people of color.
Help change the trajectory of someone’s life in the Eagle Valley.

“The Community Market fed me and my daughter, without asking questions or judging us. They just welcomed me and supported me when I needed it most. Now, I’ve found a way to give back to this organization that changed my life.” – Hayde, Owner, Plentiful Roots

Stories of Impact
“The community really trusts the people who work and volunteer on the MIRA bus. We are able to take some of the services that are offered at clinics and hospitals and bring them to the community, to people’s homes who might not otherwise be able to access care. Most of the patients we see don’t have insurance, so helping them to navigate the system and provide basic health screenings is critical to their health and wellness.” – Kyler Hijmans, Nurse Practitioner

🧥 A coat you no longer wear could help a neighbor stay warm this winter. 💙
Thank you to 8z Vail Valley for hosting a Coat Drive benefiting The Community Market! Gather your gently used coats and help spread warmth across our community.
đź“… Wednesday, October 21
⏰ 4–5:30 p.m.
đź“Ť 137 Main Street, Edwards
Take a look through your closet, invite a friend to donate, and help us share this opportunity. Every coat is a little extra care for a neighbor. đź’™
We have a fun way to show up for our community next week! đź’š
The Community Market needs extra hands in Gypsum, especially Tuesday, October 20 and Thursday, October 22. Tuesday is still wide open, and we have just one volunteer signed up for Thursday. Could you be the one who helps fill a shift?
We’re also looking for volunteers at the MIRA Health Fair on Saturday, October 24, between 3 and 7 p.m. Shifts are about two hours—come lend a hand and be part of a great afternoon!
Watch the video for a peek at the opportunities, then grab a shift here:

Monthly gifts make a meaningful difference for our neighbors, all year long. đź’›
In this video, Alex Kandalaft, EVCF’s Annual Giving Manager, shares a thank-you to the generous people who give monthly to Eagle Valley Community Foundation. Your steady support helps strengthen The Community Market, MIRA, Elevar, and the community connections that help Eagle County thrive.
Thank you for showing up month after month. If you’d like to join our community of monthly donors, visit our website to learn more. Every gift helps build a more connected, caring community.
We’re so grateful to EVCF Board Member Gretta Kuebert (and her sweet daughter Oakley) for leading the diaper and formula drive for our MIRA Health Fair—and to everyone who has already donated. Your generosity will make a meaningful difference for local families.
Diapers and infant formula are essential everyday needs, but they can also be a significant expense for parents and caregivers. These donations will help families access supplies for their little ones and ease some of the pressure of meeting basic needs.
It’s not too late to join in! Shop our Amazon wish list: https://a.co/0af7XH7e, or drop off diapers and formula at our Avon office:
48 E Beaver Creek Blvd, Suite 308
Avon, CO 81620
Thank you, Gretta and our generous community, for showing up for families and helping make the MIRA Health Fair a welcoming place to find support.

At Eagle Valley Community Foundation, we believe a healthier community starts with connection. Join us—we can’t wait to see you there!
#EagleValleyCommunityFoundation #MIRA #MountainYouth #EagleCounty
Eagle Valley Community Foundation will be closed Monday, October 12, in observance of Indigenous Peoples’ Day.
We acknowledge that the Eagle Valley is part of the ancestral homeland of the Ute people and honor their enduring connection to this land, along with the histories, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples today.
Through The Community Market, MIRA, and Elevar, we see how deeply connected nourishment, health, opportunity, and belonging are. Caring for our community means recognizing those connections and our shared responsibility to the land and to one another.
We invite our neighbors to join us in taking time to learn, listen, and honor Indigenous voices.
Your sign to stop saying “I should volunteer” and pick a date. 👀💙
Bring your bestie, meet your neighbors, and put a little good into the world. From helping at The Community Market to supporting MIRA events, there’s a place for you to jump in.
✨ Good people. Meaningful moments. A stronger community.
Check out our volunteer opportunities and sign up today!
