Western Colorado Community Foundation

Topic: This year, the Western Colorado Community Foundation (WCCF) is celebrating its 20th anniversary.  WCCF is comprised of many funds established by separate donors. Based on the philanthropic model of endowed funds invested to grow over the long-term, with the earnings available annually for charitable giving, WCCF pools funds to provide sustained long term support for our region through grants, scholarships and more.

 

Bio: Kristin Lynch joined the WCCF in August of 2016.  Kristin and her family moved to the Grand Valley six years ago from the St. Louis area and worked with the Grand Junction Visitor and Convention Bureau promoting the Western Slope to visitors, locals and media.  She was fortunate to quickly get involved with the United Way and the D51 Foundation.  Working with prospective and legacy donors from the Western Slope fulfill their philanthropic goals has quickly become a passion.   Kristin and her husband, Sean, enjoy local volunteer work, outdoor activities and staying busy with their three school-age children..
