Two Rivers Community Foundation (2RCF) partnered with the Western Colorado Community Foundation in 2017 to establish the T.R.U.E Grants Fund, a permanent charitable endowment that distributes annual grants into the community.

Since its establishment in 2017, the T.R.U.R Grants Fund has distributed $ 68,250. in grants to nonprofits in communities from Carbondale to New Castle.

The T.R.U.E Grants Fund is a charitable investment account to benefit the people of Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, and New Castle. Donations are used to support local nonprofit organizations and community improvement projects through a competitive grants application process. A local steering committee made up of community leaders reviews applications and awards grants once a year.

Community-minded donors who share a connection to the place they live and a commitment to making their community better can make contributions of any size.

Since 2017 the T.R.U.E Grants fund has granted $99,235 to area nonprofits. View 2024 grant recipients here. 

The application process for 2025 will open August 2025
