Guiding Principles of Community Grants Program of AVMF
The Aspen Valley Medical Foundation seeks to address the growing health and human needs in the Roaring Fork Valley though its leadership and grant-making process.
• AVMF will provide funding support to agencies and organizations in the spirit of trust and mutual respect, maintaining the highest standards of accountability without micro-managing.
• AVMF will grant funds to qualified area not-for-profit 501(c)(3) agencies and organizations which are effective at meeting health and human service needs with high quality programs and services and sound administrative and fiscal management.
Qualified organizations may include, but are not limited to, individual and family support programs and services.
• AVMF will create two categories of funding support with beneficiary organizations:
Partnership Funding with a commitment to fund over a period of three years
Affiliate Funding on a year-to-year basis.
Organizations will be selected through an application process and committee review, and awarded either Partnership or Affiliate status throughout the funding period.
• AVMF will be proactive in assessing community health and human needs and initiating the funding of programs and services that best meet those needs.
• AVMF will seek additional financial resources from local individuals and institutions and from funding sources beyond our local community to meet extraordinary health and human needs that cannot be met through AVMF funding alone.
• AVMF will create and nurture partnerships and collaborations among local, state, and national agencies and organizations in order to effectively meet community health and human needs.
