The Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty Community Fund recently completed its Fall 2018 grant cycle, awarding $10,400 to 8 local non-profit organizations for their work to benefit the Steamboat Springs and Routt County communities.

Through October, Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty has contributed over $60,000 in 2018 to Routt County non-profits and organizations through the community fund program, advocacy and outreach, sponsorships and donations. The organizations that have received support include those in health and human services, crisis intervention and services, youth services, senior services, arts, athletics, housing, and the environment.
Established in collaboration with the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, the Community Fund was created as a way for Steamboat Sotheby’s Realty brokers and staff to collectively contribute and make a meaningful impact in Steamboat Springs and Routt County. The programs funded include health & human services, senior services, youth programs, arts and the environment.
“The Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty Community Fund is a wonderful example of our motto: ‘Connecting people who care with causes that matter,’” says Mark Andersen, Yampa Valley Community Foundation Executive Director. “The organizations that have received funding through this program reflect the diverse needs within our community, and the fund itself reflects the power of collective giving to make significant impact.
