Pikes Peak Community Foundation

Community impact - these public-facing programs, funded and/or operated by the community foundation, help us realize our vision of a thriving, resilient, sustainable community with a vibrant quality of life for all. We continued to help fund programs aimed at the redevelopment efforts embodied in the transforming safety initiative. This initiative represents a new vision for public safety, one that prioritizes community development and economic empowerment as tools for crime prevention. By supporting small business loans and community grants in southeast colorado springs, the initiative empowers residents to identify priorities and implement solutions tailored to their neighborhoods. Through this model, transforming safety fosters safer, more connected communities by investing in people, place-based strategies, and long-term resilience.

Our spacious skies - the community foundation launched our spacious skies, a regional initiative to identify shared community values and priorities across el paso and teller counties. This multi-phase effort uses scientifically grounded research and broad public input to develop a clear picture of what matters most to residents. The resulting data and insights are made publicly available to inform and support those making strategic investments in programs and opportunities that reflect the region's values.
