The Snowmass Village Rotary Club celebrated its annual grant distribution last week, recognizing the $70,000 it awarded to local nonprofits.
The club gathered on Aug. 27 to celebrate the funds distributed to 28 organizations — a milestone that reflects the club’s “commitment to supporting local nonprofit organizations dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in our valley,” a press release states.
The club’s Educational and International Grants, as well as its Community Grants Program, are supported by the Snowmass Wine Festival, which will be held this year on Sept. 13.
“Our partnership with our grant recipients involves each providing volunteers to help manage this event,” Sherri Goodwin, the club’s community grants chair, said in the release. “Their dedication to offering their help on that day allows the club to return the dollars earned back to the community. We appreciate the win-win situation for all involved.”
Community Grants Committee Member Britta Gustafson added that the efforts of the community is “at the heart of what we do.”
“Our club thrives on community-driven fundraising and volunteerism,” Gustafson said, “helping to support the numerous deserving causes that make this valley a better place for everyone.”
