CAR Foundation Mobilizes to Help Local Communities Throughout Colorado

By Stacey Brown, Executive Director of CAR Charities

The COVID-19 pandemic is creating many changes within the CAR Foundation. The biggest of these changes is postponing the annual fundraiser scheduled for August until June 24, 2021. Please save the date so you can join the celebration!

To combat the current crisis, the Foundation will be investing $350,000 statewide in 2020!

Here’s how:

The current grant cycle is open until June 1, 2020. The Foundation will be investing $125,000 in our communities statewide to provide safe and affordable housing. If you know of nonprofits in your communities that are providing these services, please encourage them to apply today! Grant Guidelines and Acceptance Conditions can be found on the CAR Foundation website at www.carfoundation.org. contact Stacey Brown at sbrown@coloradorealtors.com or 303-785- 7126 with questions and for submissions.

Also, the Foundation is releasing $125,000 from the Disaster Relief Fund to be distributed throughout the state. The Disaster Relief Grant Committee has been formed and is in the process of reviewing nonprofits to partner with statewide. Funds will be announced and distributed by the end of May. The Foundation understands there will be unprecedented need in our communities for the foreseeable future, and the decision was made to open a second grant cycle from July 13, 2020 to August 31, 2020. An additional $100,000 will be invested by September 15, 2020. Please contact Stacey and go to the Foundation website for more information.
