Community Cultures Council Gets Grants – Needs Your Support!

Allenspark Community Cultures Council Receives Grants  – Now Needs Your Support!

We’ve topped the $100,000 mark!

Most of the these funds went toward the down payment on the property with additional funds for not-very-exciting but necessary things such as insurance, an energy audit, the Boulder County Special Use Review, a new furnace, and to begin an operating fund.  We have received two small grants:  $1,000 from the Boulder County Arts Alliance for an arts workshop early this summer, and $400 from the Colorado Tourism Office (CTO).  The CTO grant requires $400 in matching funds.  We are also in the process of applying for grants from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) and from the Scenic Byways program.  We are encouraged by the response we have received from these agencies and are cautiously optimistic. (These grants also include matching funds.)   Stay tuned!

Two family trusts recently made generous contributions to ACCC:  The Harry L. Green, Jr. Charitable Foundation (thanks to Ann Green and her sister), and the Thomas P. Waters Foundation (thanks to the Waters and Guarascio Family).  We appreciate their generosity.

In order to continue to operate the building and to make the necessary renovations  we still need your support.  Please make as generous a contribution as you can.  Your tax deductible donations can be sent to ACCC, P.O. Box 431, Allenspark, CO.
