The Limelight Ketchum Community Fund is now accepting applications for its 2022 grant cycle. The Fund focuses on projects that support mental health, domestic abuse prevention, education, and crisis management. Eligible organizations include nonprofits, schools, and government agencies.
The Fund empowers Limelight Ketchum employees to support their neighbors, as folks from across operations are on the board. They learn about local community issues and, after their board tenure, many continue to play active roles in the organizations and issues they learned about during their service.
The Fund has donated $153,686 to nonprofits in the Wood River Valley since its inception in 2017. Funding comes from an optional employee paycheck deduction, guest donations, and $20,000 from the Limelight Hotel Ketchum. The hotel’s contribution will grow with the success of the property, and the money will be held by the Idaho Community Foundation in a donor-advised fund overseen by our employees.
After granting aid to the Limelight Condo Fire Victim Fund this year, the Fund has about $24,000 to distribute in grants. The average grant size is about $3,500.
The next deadline for applications is Dec. 1 by 4:30 p.m. Applicants should contact Hannah Berman at hberman@aspensnowmass.com for an application.
