Since March, 26 organizations in southwestern Colorado have received grants from El Pomar Foundation’s Colorado Assistance Fund (CAF).
Now entering into its third phase, the fund was activated in March to provide immediate aid to nonprofit organizations and government entities meeting basic human needs and supporting access to appropriate health care for individuals and communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The initial $1 million CAF funding was established by the foundation’s trustees on March 9, within a week of Colorado’s first confirmed case of COVID-19, and supported 175 unique organizations in 48 counties of Colorado with grant amounts ranging from $1,000 to $25,000.
