Community Grants
Investing in
Local Solutions.
UWERV invests in locally driven projects and programs that respond to the needs of people and communities across the Eagle River Valley.
Our community grants support thoughtful, collaborative work with the potential to create meaningful and lasting local impact.

Funding & Reporting
Selected grantees receive funding for a defined grant period and report on progress and outcomes.
Eligibility & Priorities
UWERV works in partnership with Eagle County Public Health & Environment to help align grantmaking with identified community needs and the goals of Eagle County's Public Health Improvement Plan.
Recent grantmaking has focused on reducing the burden of the increasing cost of living in Eagle County and supporting work that strengthens stability, self-sufficiency, collaboration, and measurable community impact.
Specific eligibility requirements and funding priorities are established for each grant cycle and may change as community needs evolve.
Next Grant Cycle
UWERV's next community grant cycle will begin in January 2027, when we will begin accepting Letters of Interest.
Funding priorities, eligibility requirements, deadlines, and application materials will be available at that time.
