Endowment Funds
Howelsen Endowment Fund
Howelsen Hill embodies the heart and soul of our community. The skiing history and town culture it has inspired are legendary across the globe. Generations of residents have learned to ski, jump and ride at here, and lessons learned have taken nearly 100 of our friends and neighbors to the Winter Games.
Howelsen Hill makes skiing accessible to everyone, in the community’s backyard. Your contribution to the Howelsen Hill Endowment Fund will help keep the ski area alive – and carry on its rich traditions. Donations to this fund maintain, operate and improve the Howelsen Hill Ski Area today and for generations to come.
Public Art Fund
Whimsical or serious, thought provoking or iconic, the sculptures and murals that grace public spaces in our community enliven our lives. Steamboat Springs’ public art serves to enrich physical, economic, social and cultural elements of our community.
With more than 80 public art installations, across a palette of artistic forms in the city, donations to the Public Art Maintenance Endowment Fund ensure that Steamboat Springs’ public art collection, which is valuable and impressive, is preserved for all to enjoy.
Serve It Forward Fund
Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball has been providing instruction and access to lifelong sports since 1991 in a welcoming and friendly environment for members and guests.
Serve up your support to the Steamboat Tennis & Pickleball Center Fund and protect and maintain this public complex. It’s a Love-Love opportunity and scores an ACE for the community
Steamboat Digs Dogs
In Steamboat Springs, dogs are a beloved member of the family. Ensuring dogs are part of our mountain town culture, the Steamboat Digs Dogs Endowment Fund will maintain, operate, and improve off-leash dog parks in our community, fur-ever.
Steamboat Springs Airport Fund
Bob Adams Field, situated within the city limits at the Steamboat Springs Airport, ensures air access to Steamboat Springs for emergency crews, search and rescue, medical needs, and private pilots.
With safety as a priority, the Steamboat Springs Airport Endowment Fund clears a smooth flight path for maintenance and updates of airport services now and into the future.
Trail Maintenance Fund
Our region’s trails and trail systems give residents and visitors unparalleled access to the out of doors. The Trail Maintenance Endowment Fund affords a permanent endowment for non-motorized trail and trailhead maintenance projects on public lands within Routt and Moffat Counties.
Your donation to the Trail Maintenance Endowment Fund will help maintain the trails you love, forever
Wildlife Habitat Improvement - Local District (WHILD) Fund
We love wildlife – and are fortunate to be able to see moose, deer, elk and animals of all size on a regular basis. As Routt County has grown, we have impacted key habitat elements of food, water, protected cover, adequate range and migration corridors.
Your donation to WHILD is a win for wildlife – and supports wildlife habitat improvement projects, including capital projects, planning, research, studies, management, enforcement and education for the public benefit.
Yampa River Botanic Park Fund
An oasis within the city limits, the six-acre park celebrates the native flora and fauna of the Yampa River Basin. This hidden gem of Steamboat Springs is a place to revel in nature and is a hideaway from the stress of modern life.
The Yampa River Botanic Park is an innovative, perhaps unique, experiment in private/public development and maintenance of a public botanical facility. Your contribution helps manage the park, and design & create the beautiful gardens blossoming within.
Yampa River Fund
The Yampa River Fund is a collaborative community-based organization dedicated to identifying and funding activities that protect the water supply, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities provided to us by the Yampa River.
The Yampa River Fund will invest in conservation and restoration activities that positively impact Yampa River flows to support the livelihoods of recreation outfitters and ranchers throughout the valley, and to ensure that a healthy, flowing Yampa River remains the thriving center of our communities for generations to come.
