The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado announces a grant opportunity for Archuleta County nonprofits to participate in this summer’s 10th Annual 19th Hole Concerts at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club. The nonprofit application opens on February 6 and closes on March 6.
The concert series features local musicians and provides a vital opportunity for nonprofits to earn funds while sharing their work with community-minded attendees.
The cover charge for each concert is a $10 donation to support the four selected nonprofits. Earnings will be pooled and distributed equally to the organizations. In 2024, each participating organization received $2,500.
The concerts will take place on Thursday evenings in June, 5:30 – 7:30pm. The official dates are June 5, 12, 19, and 26. The selected organizations and performing musicians will be shared at a later date.
“We’re excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 19th Hole Concerts this year,” said Briggen Wrinkle, Executive Director of the Community Foundation. “It’s been a wonderful way to support the nonprofits of Archuleta County, and we’re proud of how much it’s grown and become a must-go event in the area. Over the past nine years, we’ve raised $68,000 for nonprofits. We look forward to seeing everyone come to the concerts this year and celebrate a decade of empowering local philanthropy.”
The nonprofit application for the 19 th Hole Concerts can be found online under the “Nonprofit Resources” tab on the Community Foundation’s website, swcommunityfoundation.org. The selected nonprofits will be announced in late March.
