The Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty Community Fund recently completed its Fall 2019, awarding over $10,000 to twelve Routt County nonprofit organizations.
Since its inception in 2017, the SSIR Community Fund has contributed almost $47,000 to 35 organizations.
Established in collaboration with the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, the 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. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership with Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty.”
