The Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty Community Fund recently completed its Spring 2021 grant cycle, awarding $12,800 to Routt County nonprofit organizations.
Since its inception in 2017, the SSIR Community Fund has contributed more than $88,000 to 47 different organizations and programs. 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.
“Since 2017, through the generous contributions of their brokers, the Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty Community fund has granted a total of over $88,000 to 47 different Yampa Valley nonprofit organizations,” says Tim Wohlgenant, Executive Director of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. “Their grant cycle provides a unique funding opportunity for nonprofits across all areas of interest to address funding needs for which there are often few other resources.
