The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado is announcing a grant opportunity for Archuleta County nonprofits to participate in this summer’s 19th Hole Concerts at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club. The nonprofit grant application is now open. The deadline to apply is February 14.
The 19th Hole Concerts benefit the Archuleta County nonprofit community and promote Southwest Colorado’s talented music scene by featuring a different nonprofit and music talent every Thursday evening, June 11 through July 16 at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club. A cash bar and food from the grill will be available for purchase.
The cover charge for each concert is a $10 donation to support the six nonprofits selected. Proceeds from the cover charges will be pooled and distributed equally to the six featured organizations. In 2019, $1,300 each was awarded to the six selected nonprofits.
The application for nonprofits to apply can be accessed under the “Grant Seekers” tab on the Community Foundation’s website (www.swcommunityfoundation.org). The selected nonprofits will be announced in early March.
“As a new board member for the Community Foundation, I am looking forward to seeing the impact the 19th Hole Concerts have on the amazing nonprofits we have serving our community,” says Bethany Bieth, Archuleta Board Member of the Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado. “Community events like the summer concerts are such a fun way to be philanthropic, with great music and delicious food, as an added bonus!”
