The Community Foundation administers an enormous range of grants locally, touching all segments of our community. In 2011 we granted $400,000 in grants, $354,000 in scholarships, and $561,000 in program grants. We are able to achieve this through the generous support of our believers who see us as the center of philanthropy in our five county region. Together we can continue to improve the lives of people within our community.
The Foundation manages over $2.1 million dollars in 96 Funds to meet donor and community needs. We are proud of our National Certification and pride ourselves on deep community knowledge and the ability to collaborate enabling partnerships so that the public at large benefits. In 2012 the Foundation is a proud part of the Downtown Durango Welcome Center and the School Based Health Centers. We appreciate the opportunity to partner with the Durango Herald and hope you enjoy the Durango Home and Ranch Show, and want to thank the Durango Herald for their support of the Foundation and the community.
