Foundation

Working to benefit the community

Benefits of the foundation include financial support for a wide variety of programs and upgrades throughout EVRPD properties that include:

• Stanley Park and other facility improvements
• New equipment for youth and adult sports and activities
• Financial assistance for Estes Valley residents with limited incomes

Since its inception in early 2018, the Estes Valley Recreation and Park Foundation has:

• Contributed over $10,000.00 to the new tennis courts at Stanley Park
• Raised $13,500 for the Junior Golf Program, which provides a variety of free equipment and instructional golf programs for youths age 6 to 17
• Raised over $10,000 for adult programming, including donations for meals, special events, classes and activities
• Secured over $35,000 in scholarship funding for youth and family programming, which has helped to offset the costs of sports programs, classes, camps and community center memberships for over 40 local families in need of assistance
• Acquired nearly $40,000 for Stanley Park Dog Park improvements, including funds for new signage, fencing, landscaping, play elements and a water fountain

Currently, the Foundation’s short- and long-term goals include:

• Securing grants to expand environmental education, “adventure” programming and outdoor-oriented offerings for youths and adults
• Securing donations for Stanley Park improvements, including upgrades and additions to the parking lot, landscaping, ballfields, playgrounds, pickleball courts, skate park and picnic shelters

Donations of any amount are welcome. If you are interested in donating larger amounts, need a tax exempt confirmation and/or or want the gift designated for a specific purpose, please e-mail Tom Carosello at tomc@evrpd.com.
