Vail Valley Charitable Fund

"It's All About Heart"

About Us
Formed in 1996 as a Colorado 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, the Vail Valley Charitable Fund’s goals are to continue to raise funds by events, grants, and corporate and individual donations, raise community awareness, engage more volunteers in this worthwhile cause, and continue to help people in need in the community.

In both 2005 and 2008, The Vail Valley Charitable Fund received the ‘Success Connection Award for Non-Profit Organization of the Year’ from the Vail Valley Partnership.  The Vail Daily Reader’s Poll also selected the VVCF as one of the three best Non-Profit Organizations in our community. 

It may seem odd for a non-profit organization to define their success in financial terms.  However, the financial performance of the VVCF is directly tied to the amount of aid that we can provide to those in need.  With less than 15% of our income used to pay administrative expenses, VVCF’s total focus is on the monetary relief that we can provide to others.  In 2008, a quarter of a million dollars was raised and distributed to directly offset the expenses involved with:  injuries sustained in a serious car accident; several individuals battling cancer; intensive care for a severely premature infant; recuperation from heart attack and stroke; and much more. 

Unfortunately, for every individual we are able to help, there are others we must turn away.  In 2009, we hope to increase the amount of money we are able to donate in the form of direct aid grants and continue our support of community-based fundraising.  Achievement of these goals depends on the continued generosity and support of individuals and organizations in this community.
