2019 FUNDS

A fter a rash of suicides shocked our small mountain paradise several years ago, a

group of community members recognized the critical need of increased support for mental health services and banded together to serve and heal our community. CB State of Mind, a fi scal sponsorship of CFGV, works to con-nect people to resources, education and free counseling scholarships to improve mental wellness, eliminate stigma and lower the rate of suicide in the Gunnison Valley.

HERE FOR GOOD – INTEGRITY

Anyone can be a philanthropist! Creating any kind of fund is easy. A Donor Advised Fund at your community foundation is like beginning your own private foundation without all the paperwork. There’s no gift too small to get started. Call the office at 970-641-8837 for more information.

“I cannot express the level of gratitude I have towards the CB State of Mind organization for the opportunity granted to me

to receive the mental health support I so badly needed, and until now, I could not receive.”

– Crested Butte Community Member

Shady Island River Park project underway

G unnison County purchased a parcel of land just north of the City of Gunnison with the intent of

developing a new recreational area and boat launch near the North Bridge. Th e new Shady Island River Park will include parking, tent camping sites, picnic tables and shelters, restrooms, a trail loop system, recreation paths, fi shing access, boat staging area, access for non-boaters, outdoor classrooms and gathering areas – it’ll have something for everyone! 

Th e Gunnison County Shady Island River Park Project Fund, established in 2019, provides a vehicle for the public to provide charitable support for the project, and CFGV is pleased to partner with Gunnison County on this very exciting endeavor.

Anyone can contribute to a fund at cfgv by going to the website www.cfgv.org/donors

Exciting recreation opportunities for all

19th Annual Dan Tredway Memorial Excellence in Teaching Award

T he Dan Tredway Memor ial Excellence in Teaching award

calls for a teacher who is “dedicated to students, committed to the communi-ty, and who creates a classroom atmo-sphere which promotes an excitement about learning.”

Gunnison Middle School social stud-ies teacher Andy Dunda believes positive relationships – and giving out plenty of high-fives – are the key to being a successful educator.

Advancing education

Scholarships enable local youth to take education to the next level

W ith a love of reading, historical research and writing, Clara Schulte hopes to use

her passion to educate, inform and advocate. In 2019, Clara was awarded the Gunnison Kiwanis Club Scholarship to make her dreams come true.

“Ready or not – CU Boulder here I come!”

K atherine Ricks plans to do a lot while at college – major in biomedical engineer-

ing, work as an EMT, and enlist in the National Guard. A Gunnison Memorial Scholarship is helping Katherine accomplish all of this at a pri-vate university in California.

“Your scholarship has made me positive…I will be able to go to

school debt free!”

W hile Alex isn’t totally sure what he wants to do for his career, he knows that he

definitely wants to help people in his com-munity. Being awarded a Gunnison Memorial Scholarship will enable Alex to learn, grow and give back.“No matter what I do in life, I want

to be there to help the community.”

Imagination Library gives the gift of reading

C ountless studies show that reading in early childhood has a lasting impact on a kiddo’s life. Reading helps with increased

vocabulary, curiosity and memory – and provides healthy together - time for children and parents. Th e Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley is a proud partner of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Since 1995, the program has sent over 138 MILLION books to kids in four countries! Th e requirements for local enrollment? Kids must be under age 5 and live in Gunnison or Hinsdale Counties. Over 300 local youth are currently receiving books through the Imagination Library (at no cost to their families). You can help spread the word to get more young kiddos involved! Many thanks to the generous donors who make early childhood literacy for our local kids possible.

Setting youngsters up for a lifetime of success

Relationships are key – your students need to feel respected,

encouraged and safe.

Defensive Driving Scholarship gives kids essential skills

T he 2019 Defensive Driving Scholarship awards afforded a record eight local kiddos

the chance to attend a full day driving camp with MasterDrive in Colorado Springs. After learning important skills like crash avoidance, dynamic awareness, crisis braking techniques and skid con-trol, the roads will be safer…for everyone!

I learned many new skills to help me grow as a safe and

responsible driver (plus drifting was pretty fun). – Iris Houck

This whole course has helped me feel more comfortable behind the wheel and become a more confi dent driver. – Ashlynd Harris

C FGV typically reports on the prior year at the height of summer. While this year’s timing

has stayed the same, so much has changed since 2019. Your support of CFGV and the community has become more important than ever before.

COVID-19 has impacted everyone, and the Gunnison Valley is no exception. With the econ-omy shut down and a mystery illness circulating, the first half of 2020 has presented numerous challenges, and there are still many unknowns.

One of your Community Foundation’s roles is to respond in a community crisis. Created on March 19, 2020, the Gunnison Valley COVID-19 Recovery Fund was established to assist non-profi ts and appropriate public entities in meeting extraordinary needs. Priority has been given to those organizations meeting health and safety

needs of the community’s most vulnerable popu-lations.

As of mid-June, over $280,000 has been given by nearly 200 individuals, families, businesses, and other organizations, and over $155,000 has been granted to 17 organizations through six rounds of funding. Application deadlines are every two weeks, and a fi ve-person community review committee makes recommendations for funding.

Your generosity during these extraordinary times is making it possible for those most aff ect-ed by COVID-19 to access healthy food, mental health services, relief for rent and utility pay-ments and more. As long as gifts keep coming in, CFGV will keep granting out to organizations serving those most in need.

2020 and Beyond

Change is the only constant

A s we say farewell to Pam Montgomery, we also welcome Lauren Kugler as the new

Executive Director of the Community Foundation. Lauren is a native of Crested Butte and has been working for the Foundation for the past seven years. She’s thrilled to continue building on the many accomplishments CFGV achieved during Pam’s tenure and to lead the Foundation into the next chapter.

A fter 17 years at the helm of the Community Foundation of the Gunnison Valley,

Executive Director Pam Montgomery is retir-ing. Please join the Board of Directors, Advisory Council, staff, volunteers and donors of CFGV in thanking Pam for so many years of exempla-ry leadership and extraordinary service. CFGV would not be the strong and vibrant organiza-tion we are today without her dedication to the Foundation, and the Valley as a whole. We wish her all the best as she spends more time in her garden and with her family. Th ank you, Pam!
