Southern Colorado Community Foundation enhances the quality of life and promotes philanthropy through leadership, resources and traditions.
Southern Colorado Community Foundat’s recent grantmaking is anchored by large educational-purpose awards in Pueblo, especially repeated support for Rosemount Museum and CSU Pueblo Foundation. Those two recipients appear at the top of the recent-grants list across multiple years, with Rosemount Museum receiving $300,315 in 2023 and $237,102 in 2025, and CSU Pueblo Foundation receiving $128,811 in 2023, $190,678 in 2024, and $205,698 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that backs established local institutions over time rather than making only isolated gifts. The foundation also funds a wider mix of community-serving organizations, including arts, health, human services, and education, with grants that range from smaller awards in the low thousands through six-figure support. Its active grant programs show a second layer of grantmaking: named funds for leadership, children and youth, scholarships, and general community support across Southern Colorado and Pueblo County. The overall picture is of a community foundation using both broad grantmaking and targeted funds to support education, civic life, and local capacity.
Education is the clearest throughline in the recent-grants record. Southern Colorado Community Foundat gave $205,698 to CSU Pueblo Foundation for educational purposes and $131,500 to Kaleo Global for educational purposes, showing support for both higher education and broader learning-related programming. The same pattern appears in cultural education, with $300,315 to Rosemount Museum for educational purposes and $100,160 to Sangre De Cristo Arts & Conference Center for educational purposes. Beyond education, the foundation supports health and human services through $50,000 to Soaring Eagles Center for Autism for educational purposes and $100,000 to Summit Healing Inc for educational purposes. It also funds community institutions such as YMCA of Pueblo, which received $33,126 in 2025, reflecting attention to local civic and family-serving organizations.
Typical grant size is relatively clustered: the 25th percentile is $9,800, the median is $13,000, and the 75th percentile is $30,000. Recent records also show much larger awards, so the foundation uses a wide range of gift sizes alongside its standard grantmaking. The recipient list includes multiple organizations that appear across several years, including Rosemount Museum, CSU Pueblo Foundation, Praise Assembly of God, Summit Healing Inc, Pueblo Community College Foundation, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which suggests repeated support rather than one-time-only awards. Southern Colorado Community Foundat is a mixed community foundation and accepts unsolicited applications in several active grant programs.
