Anti-Hate Policy Adopted

The Yampa Valley Community Foundation believes that philanthropy should always be a force for good. With the rise in levels of hate and extremism nationally, we felt it important to state unequivocally that we will not process grants to any organization that supports or engages in hateful activities. While an internal review of historical grants shows no evidence of such granting, YVCF's Board of Trustees has adopted an Anti-Hate Policy to ensure that our funds are not supporting hateful activities, which are contrary to YVCF’s mission and charitable purpose.
