Scholarships
Scholarships for worthy students.
Elevations Foundation is proud to support numerous scholarship initiatives for local graduating high school seniors in their pursuit of higher education. All Elevations Foundation scholarship recipients have a proven track record in academics and community engagement, but most importantly they have a financial need. This is a primary focus area of the Foundation that will continue in perpetuity. Our online application will be available from Jan. 1 to March 1.
Community Grants
Supporting local nonprofits every year.
Elevations Foundation supports our Colorado communities by providing grants to area nonprofit organizations. Community grants are awarded annually to local nonprofits working in the areas of mental health and early childhood development.
Disaster Assistance
In your corner in times of need.
When disasters strike credit union communities near or far, Elevations Foundation is there to help. Partnering with the National Credit Union Foundation’s CUAID program, we turn to our community to donate to relief efforts in times of need. For example, following the 2013 Colorado floods, Elevations Foundation was able to raise and provide over $430,000 to local relief efforts.
“With our grant, we were able to purchase books for children whose families cannot afford them so their parents can read aloud to them." - Stevie Benkendorf of Read Aloud Loveland, an Elevations Foundation Community Grantee
