EVCF is not a traditional community foundation, rather we work in conjunction with community par tners to both deliver direct service programs and suppor t the impact and capacity building of other nonprofit organizations. EVCF is a convener, inspiring collective action to local challenges, always keeping our ear to the ground and providing responsive solutions to the most emerging needs of Eagle Valley community members. Current areas of focus include: Addressing Food Insecurity through Healthy Food Access (The Community Market), Early Care and Learning, Health & Wellness Resources and Referrals (MIRA), Nonprofit Leadership Capacity Building, and Building Community Leadership Among People of Color (Elevar Social Venture Fund). All of our programs are tailored to the culture, neighborhood and needs of the community with a focus on building upon the strengths of each family and individual we serve. Tax Exempt Status * Organization Background: Explain the original issue and/or oppor tunity the organization was founded to address, and how that may have changed over time: * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR8…5/18 The Community Market’s (TCM) objective is to provide low-income communities with access to free, healthy food as well as to prevent food from going to waste. TCM strives to provide good food at the hear t of our community. The three pillars that guide our work: Healthy People, Strong Communities, and Environmental Sustainability.The Community Market addresses issues around food insecurity, food waste and sustainability in our community. TCM is committed to providing a dignified customer experience, promoting a healthy diet, and ultimately, helping to improve the overall health and environment of community residents. Through two storefront markets, located in Gypsum and Edwards, and pop-up Mobile Markets available throughout the Eagle River Valley, The Community Markets are addressing food insecurity by providing a variety of fresh produce, dairy, meats, and bread as well as shelf-stable grocery items for customers to shop on a regular basis. TCM has experienced record numbers of customers seeking food assistance on a weekly basis. Prior to the pandemic, approximately 1,100 people sought the services of TCM on a weekly basis. Today, we continue to feed over 4,000 people per week. Introduced to the community in August, 2018, the MIRA RV is a rolling clearinghouse for services available in Eagle County. MIRA means "Mobile Intercultural Resource Alliance." MIRA is a 40-foot RV that brings resources directly to Eagle County neighborhoods and workplaces. MIRA is a unique bus that meets people where they are- providing resources and creating trust throughout neighbors in Eagle County. We listen, learn, and respond to concerns and needs in a culturally relevant manner. Our approach to wellness combines conventional referrals and complimentary services to our most vulnerable population, and all at no cost. Examples include basic health education and screenings, application suppor t for public assistance programs, food resources, workforce development, early-childhood education coordination, etc. MIRA travels to each of the six largest mobile home developments in our county 1-3 times per month serving over 4,500 people each year. In 2022, Eagle Valley Community Foundation added a third signature program, Elevar, to complement The Community Market and MIRA. Elevar is an emergent leadership development program and social impact fund that provides community investments through grantmaking and program-related investments to emerging Latinx leaders and people of color. Elevar will create the connection point between existing education and leadership training programs to the resources needed for emerging leaders to make their dreams a reality, while building economic power, and creating a more empowered and socially just community. To date, Elevar has established a board of 15 local individuals. Current Projects:  Provide a brief description of the organization’s current projects/programs.  Include population and numbers served, as well as expected results: * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR8…6/18 To support the economic security and prosperity of people throughout Eagle County, the essential needs of their families must first be met. Through our programs, we not only aim to provide immediate assistance and suppor t to families who are suffering from food insecurity and a lack of access to health resources, we also aim to par tner with community members to build their own capacity as leaders, advocates, and empowered members of our community. Specific to this project, EVCF has developed an Advisory Board for Elevar to advise the Board in understanding the issues affecting our community. Elevar’s Advisory Board will share a wealth of knowledge and experience with startups/early phase businesses. They bring a diverse skill set and varied backgrounds to best suppor t all facets of the entrepreneurs’ businesses. All Advisory Board members self identify as BIPOC to give entrepreneurs relatable role models. Advisors are fully engaged and committed to helping the incubator and its entrepreneurs succeed by serving as mentors, recommending professional development, and helping to create an equitable grant process. In 2021, EVCF hired a Director of People & Culture who is a regional leader in Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) work and human resources, to actively engage and suppor t employees in participatory decision-making, building an inclusive and diverse workforce, and ensuring that implicit bias is addressed in order to build an environment that embraces racial justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. All staff meetings are conducted in English and Spanish and informal and formal spaces are created for open dialogue related to JEDI topics. Through employee recruitment, EVCF takes a multi-cultural approach and prioritizes hiring diverse staff to enhance EVCF. EVCF has recently created a Board Recruitment and Governance Committee being led by a woman of color, who is also a board member. She is working with the committee to build greater diversity on the board and to fur ther assess how JEDI work can be better integrated in all board education and training to align with the work of staff and volunteers. Using a board matrix, the committee has identified gaps in exper tise, lived experience, and racial and ethnic backgrounds and are working together to identify potential leaders in the community who have the interest in becoming board members for EVCF. EVCF has 15 board members and intends to recruit at least 5 new board members over the next year to be more representative of the community served and to fur ther diversify the board.

Through existing programs and par tnerships with local nonprofit organizations, EVCF’s Elevar fund will create the connection point between existing education and leadership training programs, to the resources needed for emerging leaders to make their dreams a reality, while building economic power, and creating a more empowered and socially just community. Through Elevar, we are partnering with a diverse range of organizations and programs to take the next step in suppor ting ongoing leadership development through cohor t-based learning and coaching, as well as access to financial resources through a combination of privately funded grantmaking and program-related investments. EVCF is working collaboratively to suppor t community members of color wanting to star t or accelerate their own 501c3 or social enterprise, with a focus on supporting early-stage social and environmental ventures aiming to solve our community’s problems and addressing the needs of low-income communities. Funding will be used to suppor t stipends for the Steering Committee, Professional development and training for Founding Cohor t Members, start-up or accelerator funding through grantmaking and program-related investments. Funding Request:  Provide a project title and description of the proposed use of funds:* DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR8…8/18 Less than 30% of businesses in Eagle County are women owned and only 8% of all businesses are owned by a person of color, and even less for women of color. Even fewer people of color hold leadership roles in businesses, on nonprofit boards, and at decision-making tables within our community. This demonstrates a gap that exists between leadership development programs and people of color obtaining leadership roles. Many people of color have not had the opportunity to advance their own economic stability and have a voice at the table through business ownership and leadership oppor tunities. Providing star t-up funding, technical assistance, ongoing leadership coaching and community-based peer suppor t through small, tight-knit cohorts, the par ticipants and recipients of the Elevar fund, will gain a competitive advantage as they grow their businesses, build confidence as key leaders with critical voices, and reimagine the systems of decision-making to be inclusive, innovative, and equitable for all. Grant funding will empower EVCF to engage a new generation of leaders among communities of color who are given an unfair advantage to succeed in leadership roles throughout our community by forging bonds and trading perspectives with leaders who understand their challenges and triumphs, creating relationships that will suppor t their ongoing leadership. Participants will develop the skills and have the suppor t to become the leaders our community needs now while also building the knowledge and connections to develop an effective and well-resourced business or organization to address community needs. The Elevar cohort will be a force for good who inspire and encourage others to put learning and ideas into action.The grant will increase the number of people of color that hold positions of leadership and power in civic and government roles, community organizations, on nonprofit boards, and in businesses, effectively increasing civic engagement and voter turnout among people of color and in low-income communities. Through this grant we will be able to continue to improve the social determinants of health by elevating the community to change and defeat the oppressive systems and policies that hurt communities of color and low-income people while supporting individuals to advocate for their own health, social and economic needs, leading to a equitable and thriving community. Purpose:  Describe the issue and/or opportunity addressed in pursuing this project, including the systems change identified (see Grant Information Packet for definition and detailed reference): * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR8…9/18 Year 1: Launching Elevar Continue to convene Eagle County nonprofit organizations involved in leadership development programs to help inform and shape the Elevar. Continue to engage community stakeholders and current leadership participants in dialogue and planning to form a diverse and inclusive Elevar Advisory and Grantmaking Committee. The Elevar Advisory and Grantmaking Committee will establish applicant guidelines, provide technical assistance to applicants and ongoing coaching and mentorship of Elevar fund recipients. Committee members will be compensated for their time in an effor t to create more equitable oppor tunities to be involved in grant decision-making. Through private funding, support five to seven nonprofit or social enterprise projects or programs with a focus on suppor ting innovative social and environmental ventures led by people of color aiming to solve our community’s problems and addressing the needs of low-income communities. Provide monthly gatherings for Elevar fund recipients to convene and learn from each other. Offer ongoing leadership development opportunities as defined and directed by the Elevar fund recipients. Year 2: Refining and learning from Year 1 of the Elevar fund: Provide ongoing suppor t, technical assistance, marketing suppor t, and connections to other funders, entrepreneurs and investors to each Elevar fund cohort. Be learners in the development and grantmaking process and make refinements and adjustments to the process, coaching and technical assistance to ensure that these resources lead to meaningful community change and continue to elevate the voices and power of people of color throughout Eagle County. Based on the input of the Elevar Advisory Committee and year 1 Elevar cohor ts, provide relevant training and resources to suppor t leadership development, while helping to grow their business/organizational capacity. Select 7-10 new nonprofit or social enterprise projects or programs with a focus on supporting innovative social and environmental ventures led by people of color aiming to solve our community’s problems and addressing the needs of low-income communities. Host an annual retreat of all Elevar fund recipients to exchange ideas, build meaningful relationships and lead more effectively in an environment of open sharing and trust across cultures and generations. Year 3: Growth and evaluate Regularly assess the effectiveness of the grantmaking and community investments to ensure that the model and process is elevating BIPOC leadership, growing the community of people of color in positions of power, and enhancing the social justice, health equity, and economic power of people of color. Select 10-15 new nonprofit or social enterprise projects or programs with a focus on supporting innovative social and environmental ventures led by people of color aiming to solve our community’s problems and addressing the needs of low-income communities.

This diverse range of funding ensures we are not overly reliant on any one source of revenue, and we can adapt should funding fall through. We operate a lean and balanced budget to suppor t the needs of the community and rely 100% on funding from our suppor ters and funders each year to fulfill our mission. Since our founding, the community has come together to suppor t neighbors in need and weather the challenges of the pandemic. Specific to this grant request, Eagle Valley Community Foundation has secured a grant from the Colorado Health Foundation for three years to support the development of Elevar.

Cohor t participants will forge bonds and trade perspectives with fellow leaders who understand their challenges and their triumphs, creating lasting relationships that will support their ongoing leadership journey. Participants in the program will have the financial resources and community suppor t to advance their business and organizational goals to better our community. Participants will develop the skills and have the suppor t to become the leaders our community and the world needs now. In this evolving landscape of global challenges, the Elevar leaders will be a force for good who inspire and encourage others to put learning and ideas into action. Support par ticipants in ar ticulating their own story that communicates a vision for change and identifies community-sourced solutions to address community problems. Build the knowledge and connections to develop and accelerate an effective and well-resourced business or organization to address community needs. We will see new and diverse people be placed in formal and informal positions of leadership in civic and government roles, community organizations, on nonprofit boards, in businesses. While we do have the baseline data yet to set clear metrics to measure success, we will develop a baseline in our community as a benchmark to work from and measure our success. Long-term Outcomes: We will improve the social determinants of health by elevating individuals, families and the community to change and defeat the oppressive systems and policies that hur t communities of color and low-income people. Activate leaders and changemakers to reimagine and redesign systems that impact them. Support individuals and families to effectively advocate for their own health, social and economic needs, ultimately leading to a more equitable and thriving community. Increase the overall number of people of color that hold positions of leadership and power in civic and government roles, community organizations, on nonprofit boards, in businesses. Increase civic engagement and voter turnout among people of color and in low-income communities.

This will be understood through entry survey data in which volunteers and staff ask customers a brief survey of questions. Data is collected and reviewed in a dashboard to understand trends and needs in the community throughout the year. Exit data from the MIRA program will highlight increased awareness and utilization of free programs in health, behavioral health, education, housing, and food assistance, to name a few. Our new data collection process and increased emphasis on data collection and review in par tnership with the Harvard School of Medicine Mobile Health Map will allow our staff to better understand long term healthcare systems change. While success in a grant period is defined by numbers and data, as an organization Eagle Valley Community Foundation seeks to create long term community change which is the purpose of our program, Elevar. Beyond measuring the number of people that we serve, we also look at systems change and how we are suppor ting long term community success. Which involves evaluating behavior, attitudes, knowledge, relationships, etc. through both entry and exit data, periodic surveys, focus groups, etc. Eagle Valley Community Foundation and its program Elevar will measure the outputs of this project in a number of ways throughout its engagement within the community. The measures of outputs include: Number of Advisory Committee Members and their engagement: This will be tracked by attendance at meetings in addition to hours of mentoring, peer support, professional development, etc. Number of grant applications to be a part of the founding cohor t: This will allow us to better understand community interest and engagement in the program. Number of par ticipants engaged in professional development sessions: This will be tracked by attendance at professional development sessions. Repor ting from cohort par ticipants on the number of people impacted by their social enterprise: Through the cohort process we will be working with cohor t members to better understand the impact of their social enterprise by creating personalized data and evaluation tools for each program in par tnership with peer mentors and community professionals. Number of staff hours spent engaged in program Staff members will be able to steward and suppor t the steering committee members as it engages with par ticipants and community members Describe the organization's overall approach to evaluation:* How will your organization measure the outputs (the direct results of program activities such as number of people engaged, number of hours of staff time, attendance etc.) of the project that is the subject of this proposal? * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR…13/18 EVCF utilizes 4P’s structure to guide informed decision making and evaluate outcomes within our leadership program: People – Who and how many people are affected by issues being addressed? Data tracking of # in household, personal data, and list of resources utilized by clients. Place - How is the project accounting for people’s emotional and physical safety, and their need to be productive and feel valued? Tracking number of return visits, follow-up on referrals, accessibility, and community engagement. Process – How are we meaningfully including people who are affected by this issue? What organizational policies contribute to described inequities? Tracking through committee par ticipation and individualized feedback inquiries. Power -What are the benefits and burdens that the community experiences with this issue? Who is accountable? Tracking through community surveys of grantee participants. This measurement also provides feedback on the granting process. The 4P’s structure assists in streamlining the grant application process, and the data collection process will improve analysis of goals and outcomes of cohort par ticipants. Through community engagement, par ticipating organizations will have accurate qualitative and quantitative data to respond to community needs continuously and effectively within an established public par ticipation framework. Describe how your organization will measure the outcomes (specific changes in people or organizations such as behavior, attitudes, knowledge, relationships etc.) of the project that is the subject of this proposal. * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR…14/18 Our focus has always been to meet basic needs but in the last few years we have realized we need to do more to create systematic change, we have to change the economic landscape of our community. Our vision is to collectively build a community that embraces diversity, honors inclusivity and actively works to dismantle the systems and institutions that prevent communities of color from having a voice and leadership roles across all aspects of society. We will listen, learn, and collaborate to activate community power, create space for community voice, and give the communities we serve an oppor tunity to create and implement ideas with, by and for communities of color. This program addresses root causes by empowering community members to identify their own solutions and opportunities while providing the learning and suppor t necessary to succeed and the funding needed to get star ted. Often BIPOC community members are unable to attain economic prosperity or start their own businesses because they do not have traditional sources of funding or wealth such as generational wealth, credit or equity to take out business loans, or the knowledge necessary to begin these financial processes and engage in our country’s capitalistic economic system. Limited access to networks and social capital can make it difficult for individuals to connect with others who can help them advance in their careers and succeed in their endeavors. Elevar is creating network oppor tunities for potential leaders in our community who do not have access to those groups. For those who are not fluent in English, language barriers can create additional challenges and make it difficult to access cer tain oppor tunities and succeed in cer tain fields. All Elevar programming is conducted bilingually and continues to work to advocate for bilingual programming across the community. Partnerships and Collaboration How does this project address root causes (see Grant Information Packet for definition and detailed reference)? * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR…15/18 The following organizations are eager to support our entrepreneurs. Our Grantees will have an increased line of access into leaders in these organizations, which will facilitate faster progress toward community-led solutions that positively benefit the greater Vail Valley: Vail Valley Par tnership: Vail Valley Partnership is a non-profit organization that works to promote economic development and suppor t businesses in the Vail Valley region of Colorado, they offer professional development oppor tunities and through par tnership we are able to make these resources more accessible and culturally responsive. The Community Market: The Community Market provides barrier free access to free, healthy food for Eagle County Residents. By creating a culture of trust, customers are able to connect with EVCF programs, like Elevar for security and growth. The goal is to present Elevar cohor t opportunities to customers within the existing system of trust. Edwards Workforce Center: Variety of free services to assist employers and job seekers alike, this is an existing resource in our community and our program allows us to increase their DEI effor ts. Vail Valley Latino: Their goal is to elevate and connect voices of the Latinx community so by partnering with them we are able to elevate the endeavors of Founders. My Future Pathways: Educational assistance for students from low-income families, connections with this program allow us to build a future generation of entrepreneurs. The Civic Canopy: Through guidance and support from CHF, they have provided feedback on guiding our development of a community informed program. Guardian Scholars: Stand-alone collegiate scholarship program that works primarily with first-generation college students in Eagle County, by connecting with graduates of the program we provide a potential pathway for these student leaders in our community. MIRA Bus - Camión MIRA: MIRA aims to serve as a single-stop, comprehensive, integrated and culturally relevant approach to resource connection and healthcare access. The 44 foot RV travels to neighborhoods in need to connect residents to accessible resources to improve health and wellness in our community. By meeting people where they are, MIRA and Elevar can work together on prioritizing residents' wellness and development to thrive in the future. The partnerships that Eagle Valley Community Foundation fosters with local organizations, businesses, and individuals serve as connection building opportunities for our disenfranchised community members. By creating an environment of trust and stability, Elevar is able to meet community members where they are to promote growth and success for all. Describe the organization’s most significant interactions with other organizations and efforts, including local strategic planning groups or projects and close working partnerships with community entities: * DocuSign Envelope ID: FF6B17AE-0B58-44F7-883F-D8E6900C8D93 7/31/23, 11:05 AM Advancing Systems Change Grant: Pilot Program Application 2023 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RE2iMaeVCPeyPvZt8hrh7QIHY7UR34LkWjGs_iKyBMY/edit#response=ACYDBNgibTyBdssLdZF6JUfcT0s6GCR…16/18 EVCF’s Elevar creates the connection point between existing education and leadership training programs, to the resources needed for emerging leaders to make their dreams a reality, while building economic power, and creating a more empowered and socially just community. Through Elevar, we are par tnering with a diverse range of organizations and programs (many listed above) to take the next step in supporting ongoing leadership development through cohor t-based learning and coaching, as well as access to financial resources through a combination of privately funded grantmaking and program-related investments. We will continue to rely on the collective experiences of partner organizations and leadership cohor ts to drive effective and equitable grantmaking decisions and increased impact to grow our BIPOC leadership pipeline. As we continue to grow our cohor t and coaching efforts, our team is able to listen and respond appropriately to each individual’s and group's needs. EVCF and its programs are built on the pillar of acting as community listeners and conveners. With its extensive base of community par tners, Elevar mentors and coaches will be able to refer and connect par ticipants with appropriate par tners to further their professional journeys. Inclusivity and Equity Our confidence in our approach derives from the foundation that programs are community informed. Because each program is designed by and for the community, we know that we have the buy-in needed to make real change. In 2018, during a fire, MIRA parked in the community for ten days providing free food, clothing, mental health resources, and bilingual information. During COVID-19, MIRA completed thousands of tests, handed out 900 school lunches per day, and vaccinated more than 8,000. Now, MIRA serves as a one-stop-shop for wellness resources, connecting over 4,000 neighbors each year to over 92 resources. The Community Market serves over 4,500 customers per week this demonstrates great need but even greater community trust in our programs. Elevar is grounded in “Emergent Learning”. This learning design focuses on posing questions that invite a wider circle into the thinking process, making thinking visible to encourage a learning dialogue, deliberately testing out hypotheses in the work itself, and sharing insights across the community. We know that to change the systems creating the need for our other two basic needs programs, we have to create economic self-sufficiency in communities of color through emergent learning.

As a community convener, staff, leadership, and volunteers are integrated into the neighborhoods in which we serve and have deep understandings of barriers to health and social equity locally. Many staff are introduced to EVCF first as customers and clients of our programs. Since launching The Community Market in 2018, six customers have advanced into full-time staff roles within Eagle Valley Community Foundation. 100% of our Executive leadership team reflects the diverse populations that we serve and over 61% of our staff identify as people of color and/or come from historically marginalized communities. Our diverse staff have experiences as customers, volunteers, and as donors. These perspectives help to shape how we serve our community, while recognizing that we are neither the experts nor the authority on the issues in which we work. We embrace people with diverse perspectives and experiences to join us and engage in organizational decision-making. All programs that have emerged from EVCF are a result of community informed and community-driven needs. We enter every par tnership and conversation with compassion, humility and a spirit of learning.
