About The ARV LGBTQ+ Fund

Formed in 2023 by local stakeholders, the ARV LGBTQ+ Fund wants Chaffee County LGBTQ+ residents and visitors to be their authentic selves, experience a sense of belonging, and feel safe to express themselves so our whole community can thrive and achieve our greatest potential. The Arkansas River Valley LGBTQ+ Fund is committed to expanding equity and a sense of belonging for the LGBTQ+ community in Chaffee County by providing financial resources to support individual emergent needs, technical assistance, and program services that support affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ residents and visitors.

The fund has launched two grants processes (2024 and 2025), investing $37,000 into local initiatives to build supportive spaces, inclusive services and other locally driven initiatives. Grantees have received a combination of funding and coaching to have the most impact possible. The Steering Committee is seeking to raise $10,000 by June 15th, 2026 to fund a third round of highly impactful grants to continue this important work.
