Overview

The SCCF: Community Fund Grant supports organizations in southeastern Colorado, enhancing leadership and promoting philanthropy. It prioritizes requests that foster community leadership, focusing on counties like Pueblo, Alamosa, and Huerfano.

Organizations must operate within the designated counties to be eligible, ensuring that funds are allocated effectively to local initiatives.

Southeastern Colorado is a region of contrasts -- from the heights of the Sangre de Cristos to the plains of Baca County. From ski areas to cattle ranches, from mines to manufacturing – all can be found in southern Colorado.  Pueblo, the largest city in the region, is home to Southern Colorado Community Foundation.
Preference will be given to Community Fund requests that encourage or enhance leadership in some way.
