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.

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

As colder days arrive, a warm coat can make a real difference. 🧥❤️
We’re grateful to 8z Real Estate Vail Valley for hosting a coat drive to support The Community Market and neighbors across Eagle County. This generous effort helps connect people with the warm clothing they need as temperatures drop.
Thank you to everyone who donates a coat, helps spread the word, or takes part in the drive. Your kindness brings our community together and helps make sure more of our neighbors feel cared for this winter.
We appreciated welcoming the Sysco team to The Community Market to see our work up close and learn how our programs support neighbors across Eagle County.
Sysco’s partnership—through discounted food purchases and donations—helps make it possible for The Community Market to provide food for up to 6,000 neighbors each week. Thank you, Sysco, for helping strengthen our community!

🎉 Eagle Valley Community Foundation is one of seven inaugural grantees of the Katz Amsterdam Foundation and Charitable Trust’s new Catalyst Grant Program!
This $900,000 investment over three years will help us bring fresh food directly to kids at schools, early childhood programs and youth sites across Eagle County.
Catalyst invests in organizations tackling early childhood education, food security, immigrant services and K-12 out-of-school opportunities across mountain communities in Colorado and Utah — and we’re honored to be part of this inaugural class alongside six other incredible organizations.
Thank you, Katz Amsterdam Foundation and Charitable Trust, for believing in this work. 🙏
