- Raised $166,000 through the Windsor Parks and Recreation Re-Create Fund to help re-create lost Parks and Recreation amenities following the tornado.
Ongoing Support for Local Nonprofits:
- Awarded over $80,000 in grants to local nonprofits such as 60+ Ride, Junior Achievement, Mary’s Cradle, Lutheran Family Services, Stepping Stones of Windsor, Weld Food Bank-Windsor Mobile Food Pantry, and Timberline Church-Backpack program.
- Provided $81,250 in scholarships to 47 Windsor RE-4 School District students, including three $1,500 scholarships awarded in 2024.
Future Focus on Scholarships and Community Support:
- Identifying emerging community needs by meeting with town leaders and members.
- Addressing the need for scholarships for students pursuing two-year degrees or vocational certifications.
- Fundraising efforts planned to support these educational goals and other areas of need in the community.
We are excited to play our role in maximizing giving and philanthropy right here, enriching the lives of the individuals and organizations which call our communities home. We hope you will join us by supporting scholarship and community needs through the Windsor Community Foundation today!
