Vail Valley Charitable Fund
"It's All About Heart"
The Vail Valley Charitable Fund (VVCF) helps people who live and work in Eagle County who have overwhelming financial needs due to medical crisis. To date, the organization has assisted six hundred individuals and families in Eagle County, and has raised and dispersed more than $5 million dollars. Click here to learn how to contribute to the fund.
The Vail Valley Charitable Fund has two main functions:
- On a monthly basis the Board of Directors reviews and awards direct aid grants to individuals that apply. To apply for a grant, click here.
-
When a person's financial need is greater than a direct aid grant can address, VVCF can assist with a community fundraiser for their benefit. If you are interested in organizing a fundraising event for someone in crisis, contact us by phone at 970-845-6339 or email at info@vvcf.org.
