Powering and elevating the important work of others.
Fiscal Sponsorship
We are an administrative “home” for many Eagle Valley causes.
Many people in the Eagle Valley are doing good work on behalf of our community. Many of these projects are a good match for Eagle Valley Community Foundation’s goal of working on issues that impact quality of life for all residents in the Eagle Valley.
However, when they are a group of people working together on one specific project, without paid staff or overhead, then they do not have tax exempt status. As a service to important projects such as these, our Foundation provides fiduciary oversight, financial management, and other administrative services to help build the capacity of these charitable projects.
Projects we have partnered include:
Bindu Sky Pomeroy Memorial Fund
The Bindu Sky Pomeroy Memorial fund was created after Bindu Sky Pomeroy, beloved Vail Valley local, snowboarder, teacher, brother, son and friend of many tragically passed away on November 27, 2018. He left a legacy many hope to carry on. In Bindu’s memory, honoring his giant heart and his outrageous passion for life, some legacy projects were created to have a lasting impact in Eagle County and beyond. Some scholarship awards are being presented to local students in financial need who have a passion for both academic and athletic excellence, including an annual Bindu Sky Spirit Award to support a local high school student’s dream of pursuing their passion in snowboarding or skiing as well as an ongoing secular mindfulness-based school program to “Educate the Heart”.
Eagle County Veterans Assistance Fund
Eagle County is home to thousands of military veterans, many of whom struggle to return to civilian life. Vail Veterans Program Founder Cheryl Jensen has collaborated with Johnson & Johnson to establish a national program to help military veterans accept their challenges and develop a plan for success. EVCF and Vail Veterans Program identified and funded local veterans willing to participate in the national program.
Red Canyon High School Impact Fund
Red Canyon High Schools is centered around meeting the diverse needs of our students in order to develop individuals who are respectful, community-minded, hopeful, and self-aware. RCHS provides a safe “non-traditional” learning environment, where all students acquire the skills, knowledge, and behaviors necessary to be productive citizens in an ever-changing world. This fund supports RCHS students facing challenges, assisting with the continuation and completion of their high school education.
Vail Valley RIDE
Vail Valley RIDE is a mountain bike program that expands beyond teaching the physical skills needed to hit the trails. We aim to help facilitate a new generation of trail users representing the program’s core values on and off the trails. A generation aware of their footprint and knows how to treat the trails more sustainably. Our mission aims to provide the space to experience how the bike can benefit one’s physical, mental, and emotional health. We work towards building a healthy foundation for lifelong riders.
Vail Thought Collective
Our mission is to enrich students’ educational experiences by connecting them with renowned artists, authors, athletes, and scientists who impart valuable lessons and skills beyond the traditional high school curriculum. We inspire students to explore their passions, develop their talents, and cultivate a mindset
for success.
Our vision is a future where every student has the opportunity to learn from the best in their fields, empowering them to dream bigger and achieve more. We envision a dynamic community where the influence
of high-caliber professionals ignites creativity, fosters innovation, and inspires a generation of leaders equipped to make a significant impact in the world.
Vail Humanity Initiative
Our mission is to empower students to create meaningful change in the world, fostering a sense of global responsibility. By providing our students with the tools and opportunities to support others, we cultivate
a compassionate community that inspires action and uplifts those in need.
Our vision is to cultivate a community where students actively engage with the world, supporting those in need. By fostering skills in compassion, leadership, and global responsibility, we envision a future where our students amplify their positive influence, creating a ripple effect of transformation in society.
Vail Valley Field Hockey
Founded by local moms and friends who cherished playing field hockey in their youth, our mission is to share the joy and excitement of this sport with the community while staying active and engaged. We’re thrilled to announce the start of Girls Field Hockey, where community spirit, inclusivity, and fun are at the heart of everything we do.
Our program offers two initial sessions designed to bring girls aged 9-13 together, fostering lasting friendships and building confidence through the joy of field hockey. Whether your child has a passion for soccer, lacrosse, dancing, art, ice hockey, or theater, this is a wonderful opportunity to try something new and exciting. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to have fun and meet new friends!
