The San Juan Community Fund (SCCF) is a charitable investment account to benefit the people of San Juan County. Community-minded donors can make contributions of any size. Funds are used to support local nonprofit organizations and community improvement projects through a competitive grants application process.
A local steering committee made up of community leaders reviews grant applications and makes decisions once a year. Funds are distributed by November, and can be used for projects the following year.
The San Juan community does not have a community-wide funding vehicle like a United Way. The Western Colorado Community Foundation has partnered with SJCCF to create such a vehicle. It is also a permanent charitable endowment that distributes its earnings each year into the community and will continue for generations to come.
Since its establishment in 2018, the San Juan County Community Fund has distributed $81,000 in grants to nonprofits.
