    About Care and Share Foundation

    Care and Share Foundation’s clearest recent pattern is concentrated support for Care & Share Inc in Colorado Springs, with two large program-service grants of $76,731 in 2024 and $61,896 in 2023. That relationship fits the foundation’s broader role in Southern Colorado food access: it funds food distribution, hunger relief, children’s nutrition, SNAP outreach and enrollment, and emergency food programs. The foundation’s stated purpose is to ensure equitable and sustainable access to nutritious food and education by partnering with neighbors, communities, organizations, and supporters across Southern Colorado so that no one should go hungry. Its giving is tied to direct service delivery rather than individuals or investments, and the grant programs point to practical support for food pantries, meal sites, shelters, schools, churches, and community centers. The Partner Agency Network supplies food and resources to agencies across 29 Southern Colorado counties, while the Children’s Nutrition Initiative supports school-based food access through weekend food bags, school pantries, and a student-led pantry pilot. The recent grant record shows a foundation that funds operating and program services within a local Colorado service area rather than broad, national grantmaking.

    What Care and Share Foundation Funds

    Child nutrition is one of the foundation’s most defined program areas. Through the Children’s Nutrition Initiative, Care and Share works with schools to provide weekend food bags, school pantries, and student-led pantry pilots for students and their families during the school year. The foundation also supports network-based food distribution. Its Partner Agency Network supplies food and resources to food pantries, meal sites, shelters, schools, churches, and community centers across 29 Southern Colorado counties, and organizations can apply to become partner agencies. SNAP outreach and enrollment sits within the foundation’s broader hunger-relief strategy, alongside emergency food programs and food banking. That mix aligns with the stated focus on equitable and sustainable access to nutritious food across Southern Colorado. The philosophy tags also show how the money is used: program service support, direct service funding, project-restricted support, and operating/program delivery.
