Community Partnership Grant Program

Mountain Recreation recognizes the value of recreational programs, services, and facilities to instill a strong and positive character, ensure a lifetime of health and happiness for all ages, and reduce social isolation by creating connections across the community. Recreational activities can help a person learn important life lessons, such as how to work hard, persevere, be a team player, set goals, follow rules, and stay healthy for a lifetime.

Toward this end, Mountain Recreation finds the work of many not-for-profit organizations serving the community aligned with the mission and service plan of the District.  Mountain Recreation offers qualified organizations three opportunities for assistance through its Community Partnership Grants.

Applications closed August 15 this year. The Mountain Rec Board will make final decisions at the September 2025 board meeting.

As Colorado Special Districts are local government, taxpayer funds supporting Mountain Recreation were approved by voters for the specific purpose outlined in Mountain Recreation’s service plan.  The donation of Mountain Recreation’s funding is limited to the approved Service Plan purpose and, therefore, grant awards may only be for programs or purposes related to recreation in Western Eagle County.
