We invest and manage contributions in the five counties we serve: Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma, and San Juan. We facilitate effective grantmaking for donors to ensure our region is a great place to live, work, learn, and play. In addition, the Community Foundation provides local, affordable professional development workshops and learning opportunities for nonprofit organizations in our region. We work closely with our nonprofit community to identify needs and find experienced professionals to offer hands-on training to increase capacity. Our organization feels strongly that the more effective the nonprofit sector is, the better investment it is for our philanthropists. 334788 FISCAL PROGRAMS - The Community Foundation administers fiscal sponsorship relationships with approximately ten charitable organizations or projects that do not have their own 501c3 tax-exempt status. We extend our charitable umbrella over select projects whose missions closely match our own in order to catalyze their work for the benefit of our community. Fiscal sponsorship is an efficient, economic way to reduce the cost of running a project while maintaining the integrity of the projects purpose. There are significant benefits and cost savings for projects to utilize the Community Foundation for certain activities, such as donation management, accounting, bookkeeping, insurance, and banking. (Current fiscal projects include Bear Smart, Caf au Play, Cancer Coalition of Southwest Colorado, Durango Derailers, Early Childhood Council of Archuleta County, Earth Day Durango, Give a Dam, Sail Durango, and The Community Treehouse.) Events - The Community Foundation hosts events for various purposes, including (1) grantmaking, (2) fundraising, and (3) community awareness. (1) The 19th Hole Concerts are a grant opportunity for nonprofits in Archuleta County. Selected nonprofits practice vital skills, such as grant writing, marketing, and event logistics. Through these popular concerts, the nonprofit grantees share their important work with the community and earn much-needed grant funds. (2) The Community Foundations largest fundraising event is the Durango Wine Experience, where we host wine vendors from around the world and produce a fun, shoulder-season festival each spring. Since we prioritize nonprofit support in all our projects, we ensure Wine Experience attendees get both a taste of wine and a taste of the impactful work that the Community Foundation and other local nonprofits accomplish. (3) The Community Foundation created the Making a Difference Speaker Series to align with our core values. We commit to annually bringing in nationally known speakers to talk about their philanthropic endeavors, prompting community awareness, conversations, and actions around significant, timely topics.

The organization adopted newly effective accounting requirement that prescribe when to recognize and how to measure the financial statement effects of income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its income tax returns, including the position that the Organization continues to qualify to be treated as tax-exempt organization for both federal and state income tax purposes. Theres rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained. Based on the evaluation, if it were more than 50% probable that a material amount of income tax would be imposed at the entity level upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities, a liability would be recognized in the accompanying balance sheet along with any interest and penalties that would result from that assessment. When the Organization has unrelated business taxable income, the federal Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return (Form 990T) would be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for three years after they are filed. Should any penalties and interest be incurred, they would be recognized as management and general expenses.Based on the results of management's evaluation, these requirements did not have a material effect on the Organization's financial statement. Consequently, no liability is recognized in the accompanying balance sheet for uncertain positions. false DURANGO WINE EXPERIENCE 212502 212502 24285 3880 60071 19TH HOLE 42442 42442 63208 1 13984 13984 825 1540 31017 268928 268928 25110 5420 154296 184826 84102 false 4 THE CHILDREN 129 CR 250 DURANGO CO 81301 020666382 10000 0 AMERICAN RIVERS 1101 14TH STREET NW STE 1400 WASHINGTON DC 20005 27000 0 ANIMAS HIGH SCHOOL PO BOX 3496 DURANGO CO 81301 50000 0 BIG BROTHERS BIG SISTERS PO BOX 2154 DURANGO CO 81302 12700 0 BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB 2750 MAIN AVE DURANGO CO 81301 26240 0 CAN DO MS PO BOX 5860 SUITE 200 AVON CO 81620 742337853 8000 0 CANCER SUPPORT COMMUNITY SW PO BOX 941 DURANGO CO 81302 364797617 43080 0 COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES 1301 19TH STREET GOLDEN CO 80401 13634 0 COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY 6015 CAMPUS DELIVERY FORT COLLINS CO 80523 26074 0 COMMUNITY EMERGENCY ASSIST PO BOX 3040 DURANGO CO 81302 10000 0 COMMUNITY FOUNDATION PO BOX 1673 DURANGO CO 81301 31914 0 COMMUNITY INVESTMENT ALLIANCE 19232 E BAKER PLACE AURORA CO 80013 40000 0 DURANGO ADULT EDUCATION CENT 701 CAMINO DEL RIO 301 DURANGO CO 81301 86000 0 DURANGO ARTS CENTER 802 E 2ND AVE DURANGO CO 81301 237191511 35932 0 DURANGO CELTIC SOCIETY PO BOX 3057 DURANGO CO 81302 6000 0 DURANGO DERAILERS PO BOX 1673 DURANGO CO 81302 7000 0 DURANGO DEVO 10 TOWN PLAZA 110 DURANGO CO 81301 24000 0 DURANGO EDUCATION FOUNDATION 201 E 12TH ST DURANGO CO 81301 61000 0 DURANGO FOOD BANK PO BOX 156 DURANGO CO 81301 15740 0 DURANGO HIGH SCHOOL 2390 MAIN AVE DURANGO CO 81301 15452 0 DURANGO INDEPENDENT FILM PO BOX 1587 DURANGO CO 81302 12040 0 DURANGO NORDIC SKI CLUB 3302 EAST THIRD AVE DURANGO CO 81301 841068223 10000 0 DURANGO PLAYFEST 10 TOWN PLAZA 48 DURANGO CO 81301 832805762 8520 0 DURANGO SCHOOL DISTRICT 9R 201 E 12TH ST DURANGO CO 81301 104000 0 DURANGO TRAILS 900 MAIN DURANGO CO 81301 841290857 12520 0 FAMILIES FORWARD 8 THOMAS IRVINE CA 92618 20000 0 FORT LEWIS COLLEGE 1000 RIM DURANGO CO 81301 10500 0 GOOD FOOD COLLECTIVE 361 S CAMINO DEL RIO 117 DURANGO CO 81303 136000 0 GOOD SAMS PO BOX 662 CORTEZ CO 81321 841090536 7500 0 HABITAT FOR HUMANITY 50 DESIGN CENTER ROAD DURANGO CO 81301 6560 0 HOAG HOSPITAL FOUNDATION 330 PLACENTIA AVENUE STE 100 NEWPORT BEACH CA 92663 953222343 9500 0 I AM MUSIC 1315 N MAIN AVE 207 DURANGO CO 81301 28020 0 KNOW YOUR DOUGH PO BOX 3903 DURANGO CO 81302 462637190 15000 0 KSUT PO BOX 737 IGNCIO CO 81137 17794 0 LA PLATA COUNTY HUMANE SOCIET 1111 S CAMINO DEL RIO DURANGO CO 81301 237274035 50300 0 LA PLATA FAMILY CENTER COALIT 495 FLORIDA RD DURANGO CO 81301 840988973 43000 0 LA PLATA YOUTH SERVICES 2490 MAIN AVE DURANGO CO 81301 223412 0 LPL FINANCIAL 3710 MAIN AVENUE STE 101 DURANGO CO 81301 100000 0 MAKERLAB 434 TURNER DRIVE STE 6 DURANGO CO 81303 30000 0 MANNA-DURANGO SOUP KITCHEN PO BOX 1196 DURANGO CO 81302 122240 0 MERCY HEALTH FOUNDATION 1010 THREE SPRINS BLVD DURANGO CO 81301 16760 0 MUSIC IN THE MOUNTAINS 515 COLLEGE DR DURANGO CO 81301 18000 0 OAK TREE YOUTH RESOURCES PO BOX 3105 DURANGO CO 81302 26440 0 PAGOSA NORDIC CLUB PO BOX 568 PAGOSA SPRINGS CO 81147 10500 0 PARKERS ANIMAL RESCUE PO BOX 4438 DURANGO CO 81302 8468 0 PINE RIVER SHARES PO BOX 993 BAYFIELD CO 81122 835931 0 POWERHOUSE SCIENCE CENTER 1333 CAMINO DEL RIO DURANGO CO 81301 8220 0 RESILIENT COLORADO PO BOX 1235 MANCOS CO 81328 832755411 100000 0 ROTARY CLUB OF DURANGO DAYBRE PO BOX 4149 DURANGO CO 81302 10724 0 RUBY SISSON MEMORIAL LIBRARY PO BOX 2045 PAGOSA SPRINGS CO 81147 831063172 109414 0 SAN JUAN CITIZENS ALLIANCE PO BOX 2461 DURANGO CO 81302 6872 0 SAN JUAN MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATION 15 BURNETT COURT DURANGO CO 81301 841268421 30620 0 SAN JUAN SYMPHONY 802 E 2ND AVE DURANGO CO 81301 237414147 19020 0 SEXUAL ASSAULT SERVICES ORG PO BOX 2723 DURANGO CO 81301 7560 0 SHANTA FOUNDATION PO BOX 1603 DURANGO CO 81301 10000 0 SILVERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT PO BOX 128 SILVERTON CO 81433 7500 0 SOUTHWEST CONSERVATION CORPS 701 CAMINO DEL RIO STE 101 DURANGO CO 81301 18540 0 STILLWATER MUSIC 1316 MAIN AVE SUITE C DURANGO CO 81301 31000 0 UNITED WAY OF SW COLORADO PO BOX 3040 DURANGO CO 31302 155276 0 VALLECITO NORDIC PO BOX 4431 DURANGO CO 81302 35000 0 WESTERN COLORADO UNIVERSITY 1 WESTERN WAY GUNNISON CO 81231 9000 0 WOMENS RESOURCE CENTER 679 E 2ND AVE UNIT6 DURANGO CO 81301 11640 0 0 62 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b In addition to the Finance Committee, the 990 is reviewed by Executive Director and the Treasurer of the Board of Directors for completeness and accuracy prior to filing.
