Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty Community Fund and is now accepting applications for its Spring 2020 grant funding cycle.
Locally owned and operated, Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty agents, owners and staff collectively participate in the fund, which has awarded over $47,000 to 43 non-profit organizations in Routt County since its inception in 2017.
The Steamboat Sotheby’s Community Fund was established in order to support local non-profit organizations through a collective funding and semi-annual granting process. Collaborating with Resort Group’s VIP Reservation Program with Mountain Resorts, Pioneer Ridge, and Simply Steamboat, a portion of reservation fees is donated to SSIR the community fund, which amounted to $1600 in 2019. “As a locally owned and operated business, we’re happy to partner with Steamboat Sotheby’s to give back to our community and support Routt County non-profit organizations,” says Joe Cashen, Vice President of Business Development at Resort Group. “We’re proud to create a philanthropic culture in which we encourage others to give back to the community as well.”
