Aspen Community Foundation’s Emergency Assistance Fund (EAF) was originally created as the Charitable Relief Fund in the mid 1980’s with a $1,000 gift from William A. Parker, Jr. to help those in need. Rather than continuing to individually handle each request as was the initial procedure, the Community Foundation now grants organizations that have frequently accessed the Fund and they, in turn, distribute funds to those in need. Organizations are required to follow EAF guidelines and eligibility and reporting criteria. At the end of the year, selected organizations provide the Community Foundation with a detailed report on the distribution of funds.
