Eagle Valley Family Assistance Fund

It is the mission of the Eagle Valley Famiy Assistance Fund to provide constructive financial assistance, not otherwise available, for low-to-moderate income families in Eagle County to either overcome economic hardship or continuing to be productive and self-sufficient community members.

The Eagle Valley Family Assistance Fund intends to address the financial needs of working families and individuals who are unable to receive assistance from traditional methods and systems of economic assistance.  These families or individuals do not qualify for, or do not choose to receive public assistance, and at the same time do not qualify for commercial loans.


EVFAF provides a supervised no-interest loan from our revolving fund.  Loan repayments are individually structured according to each clients' ability to repay.  The EVFAF hosts the Sweet Shot Golf Tournament annually to add to the revolving fund and to replenish it for any defaults.


The EVFAF board members believe strongly in the importance of a stable, productive community in Eagle Valley and it is the purpose of this organization to assist in maintaining such a community through its program of no-interest loans.


Since the organization of the Eagle Valley Family Assistance Fund in December 1993, we have made nearly 500 loans totaling approximately one million dollars.  The loans were made primarily to cover such basic and critical concerns such as housing, transportation, medical bill and legal assistance.

We are an all volunteer organization with no paid staff.
