AV Hunter Trust Incorporated appears to be a small, locally focused charitable fund that makes direct cash assistance to needy individuals in Colorado. Its single recorded grant was a large unrestricted payment designated to support indigent persons, indicating a priority on emergency or basic-needs relief rather than institutional philanthropy. The foundation operates as a direct aid vehicle rather than a programmatic or policy funder.
Highly concentrated: a single large grant focused on individual-level support within Colorado. No evidence of repeated institutional grantee funding or diversified program grants.
Av Hunter Trust Incorporated shows a strong pattern of direct relief for people in Colorado, with its largest recorded recent grants going to Special Requests for Individuals for support for indigent persons in the state. That single-purpose giving sits alongside a broader set of operating grants to Colorado nonprofits serving people in crisis, including La Puente Home Inc in Alamosa and Riverside Educational Center in Grand Junction. The trust’s recent activity suggests a foundation that mixes individual assistance with organizational support for local service providers rather than large, multi-state philanthropy. Its grant history includes repeated awards to the same Colorado organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to sustained relationships rather than one-off gifts. The trust also reaches a range of communities across the state, from mountain and western-slope towns to Front Range cities. Recent grantees include House of Neighborly Service in Loveland, Crossroads Safehouse Inc in Fort Collins, and Maria Droste Counseling Center in Denver, all funded for general operating support. The overall picture is a Colorado-focused funder centered on basic needs, crisis response, and local service capacity.
In basic-needs and crisis-response work, Av Hunter Trust Incorporated gave $82,500 to La Puente Home Inc for general operating support and $50,000 to Crossroads Safehouse Inc for general operating support. It also backed House of Neighborly Service in Loveland with $52,500 for general operating support, reinforcing a pattern of support for organizations serving people facing hardship. The trust also funds youth and family services. It gave $45,000 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Northwest Col in Craig for general operating support and $42,500 to Life Stories Child & Family Advocac in Greeley for general operating support. Health-related and housing-adjacent services appear as well: Home Builders Foundation in Englewood received $47,500 for general operating support, and Heart & Hand Center in Denver received $40,000 for general operating support. These grants point to a portfolio built around direct service organizations in Colorado.
The typical grant size is modest but flexible: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and the 75th percentile is $27,500. Recent grants also show some larger operating awards to Colorado nonprofits, especially in the $40,000 to $82,500 range. The trust appears to give repeatedly to the same organizations across multiple years, including La Puente Home Inc, Riverside Educational Center, House of Neighborly Service, Maria Droste Counseling Center, and Crossroads Safehouse Inc. It functions as a trust rather than a DAF or program-related investment vehicle, and the active programs indicate both unsolicited individual-assistance requests and organization grants within Colorado.
