The Craig-Scheckman Family Foundation appears focused on supporting local healthcare in its home region, making a substantial unrestricted or capital-style gift to the Yampa Valley Medical Center Foundation. With a single six-figure grant, the foundation demonstrates a priority for strengthening regional medical services and health infrastructure in Steamboat Springs/Yampa Valley. Their giving is place-based and targeted toward community medical capacity rather than broad national causes.
Concentrated, large single grants to a local healthcare institution; place-based philanthropy focusing resources on one primary grantee rather than distributing many small grants.
Yampa Valley Medical Center Foundation
A six-figure unrestricted grant to Yampa Valley Medical Center Foundation anchors the Craig-scheckman Family Foundation’s giving and signals a strong emphasis on local health infrastructure in the Yampa Valley. The foundation’s recent grants also show repeated support for schools, youth-serving organizations, and community service groups across Northwest Colorado, with several recipients appearing in more than one year. That pattern suggests steady relationship-based funding rather than one-off project support. Beyond health care, the foundation has backed local education and student services through grants to Steamboat Springs School District, Hayden School District, South Routt School District, and Colorado Mountain College. It has also supported community organizations working on mental health, family support, sustainability, and autism services. Most awards are unrestricted, which gives recipients flexibility in how they use the funds. The recent grant record includes both larger anchor gifts and a broader set of mid-sized awards, with multiple grants in the $45,000 to $75,000 range. Recipients are concentrated in Steamboat Springs, Hayden, Oak Creek, and Denver, with smaller but notable gifts reaching Oakland, California, and Queens, New York.
Health and medical capacity are central to the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2024, it gave $200,000 to Yampa Valley Medical Center Foundation for unrestricted support, and it later funded Northwest Colorado Health with $45,000 in 2024 and again in 2025. Education is another visible area. The foundation awarded $136,000 to Steamboat Springs School District in 2024, $75,000 to Hayden School District in 2024 and $50,000 in 2025, and $75,000 to South Routt School District in 2024 followed by $50,000 in 2025. Youth and family services also appear consistently. Rocky Mountain Youth Corps received $70,000 in 2024, while Family Development Center received $50,000 in 2025. The foundation has also backed Yampa Valley Autism Program with $40,000 in 2024 and $50,000 in 2025, indicating repeated support for services tied to youth well-being and family support. Environmental and community issues show up as well, including $50,000 each year to Yampa Valley Sustainability Council in 2024 and 2025.

Typical grant size sits at a $15,000 25th percentile, $25,000 median, and $40,000 75th percentile, even though the recent record includes several larger awards. The foundation’s giving is highly concentrated in Colorado, and the same organizations often appear across multiple years, including repeated support for schools, health groups, and community nonprofits. Awards in the recent list are overwhelmingly unrestricted. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Several active funding programs use board-directed or discretionary decision-making, and some accept unsolicited proposals while others do not.
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly Colorado-based, with 93% of grants going to recipients in the state. The most frequent recipient city is Steamboat Springs, followed by Hayden and Oak Creek, which reflects a strong Routt County and Yampa Valley footprint. The recent record also includes Denver, Glenwood Springs, and a small number of grants outside Colorado. Non-U.S. recipients are not shown in the grant data. Recipients in the U.S. dominate the portfolio, with 122 grants listed at 100.0%.
Its active programs point to arts access, environmental justice, youth advocacy, discretionary capacity building, and special initiatives such as behavioral health or COVID-19 local support. The recent grants also show support for schools, health organizations, family services, and community nonprofits in Northwest Colorado.
The typical grant size is $15,000 at the 25th percentile, $25,000 at the median, and $40,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent awards include both those mid-range amounts and larger grants such as $200,000, $150,000, and $136,000.
Yes, but most funding stays in Colorado. The grant record includes recipients in Denver, Glenwood Springs, Oakland, and Queens, while 93% of grants go to recipients in Colorado overall.
Some programs accept unsolicited requests, including the Equitable Access to the Arts Project, the Environmental Justice Project, and the Youth Advocacy Project. Other funding channels, such as CSFF Legacy Funding and Special Initiatives, do not accept personal appeals or unsolicited requests.
Recent grants are labeled unrestricted, and the foundation’s philosophy tags include unrestricted support, general operating support, flexible funding, and no program restrictions. That pattern shows a preference for funding organizations with flexibility in how they use the money.
