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

✨ Elevar is growing—and there are two ways to get involved!
We’re recruiting for both the Elevar Steering Committee and the Elevar Community Group. They offer different ways to support entrepreneurs and emerging leaders in Eagle County:
🔹 Steering Committee: Help shape Elevar’s direction, including its strategy, curriculum, mentorship, and outreach. Members take on a more active role in guiding the program and supporting committee projects.
🔹 Community Group: Connect with the Elevar community, share ideas, and help strengthen relationships and opportunities for local entrepreneurs. It’s a way to stay involved and contribute without serving on the committee.
Whether you’re ready to help guide the program or want to connect and participate in the community, there’s a place for you. Visit our website or send us a message to learn more!
