The Parker Chamber Foundation (PCF) is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization whose mission is to "support qualified endeavors that promote economic growth, business leadership, and community prosperity."
The PCF is separate from the Parker Chamber of Commerce, but the two organizations are closely aligned. It has separate legal standing, a unique board of directors, and its own activities.
PCF is the sponsoring organization of the annual Parker Days Festival held in Downtown Parker each June. In addition to providing a quality festival for the community and highlighting local merchants, the festival provides the income to support the Foundation's ongoing philanthropic efforts.
To learn more about the festival, please visit ParkerDaysFestival.com or email info@parkerdaysfestival.com.

Community Grants Program
The Parker Chamber Foundation (PCF) awards grants to non-profit community organizations for specific needs, events, and programs that match the PCF mission. PCF is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization whose mission is to "support qualified endeavors that promote economic growth, business leadership, and community prosperity."
Grantee organizations must be located within 20 miles of Parker, Colorado. Granted funds must be put into action for the benefit of the Parker community (not necessarily exclusively). Grants will not be given for funds to be sent out of Colorado or the U.S. (example, no grants for foreign relief). The funds must benefit the local community.
Grants are made in amounts of $500, $1,000, and $1,500 – although grants for other specific amounts will be considered. Applications for 2025 grants are due by March 28, 2025, for decisions by April 15, 2025.
We recommend that you indicate a specific use for the funds, versus funds for general budget. The committee likes to see grants advancing a mission in a specific way.
If you received a 2024 community grant, it is required for you to complete the question on the form asking how the funds were used last year. Please be specific. If you have questions, please email T.J. Sullivan . If you don't receive an email acknowledging this application within 7 working days, please reach out to T.J. at (303) 841-4268.
