Description
The Routt County Climate Action Collaborative Fund, managed by the Yampa Valley Community Foundation, provides grants to projects that help implement the Routt County Climate Action Plan. The fund aims to foster local climate action by supporting efforts in habitat restoration, waste diversion, fuel-switching, energy assessments, renewable energy deployment, and climate-friendly transportation. Projects must address the region’s climate vulnerabilities—such as earlier snowmelt, drought, and wildfires—while promoting community engagement and resilience.
