 Mesa Mall Sweepstakes Winner Gives $10,000 to Promote Kids’ Philanthropy
When Alice McCary won $10,000 in the Mesa Mall Sweepstakes last September, she knew right away she would not use it for her own benefit. Alice, a 3rd grade teacher at Tope Elementary School, wanted to use her winnings to encourage children and young adults in our community to learn about community needs and organize projects to help others. She established a donor-advised fund at WCCF, the Kid Give Fund. Classrooms, church groups and scout troops are encouraged to design a project to help meet basic needs and then apply to the Kids Give Fund for a $500 donation to the nonprofit organization they want to help.

Western Colorado Community
Foundation
charitable endowments for community good
The Western Colorado Community Foundation is a nonprofit public charity established by local community leaders in 1996. Our mission is to promote charitable giving, build and manage charitable endowment funds for community good, and provide grants, scholarships and other resources to benefit the residents and communities of western Colorado.
We serve a 7-county region that includes the communities of Mesa, Garfield, Eagle, Rio Blanco, Delta, Montrose, and Ouray counties.
We work with community-minded donors who share an affinity for western Colorado, the place we are privileged to call home. The Western Colorado Community Foundation is a collection of many different charitable funds, each separately accounted for and with its own design and purpose as described by the donors who establish the funds. We invite you to learn more about our regional community foundation.
