Raising funds to help purchase a new building

Because no community funding partners currently exist, a request to the State of Colorado of $5.4 million for a new Archuleta County Senior Center building was not granted. The grant committee encouraged the Archuleta Seniors, Inc. (ASI) to apply for a Round 2 opportunity for the July 2022 deadline, with $5.7 million at stake. Archuleta County remains a vital contender for this grant. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ensure that older adults in Archuleta County have a building of their own with supportive services that they need.

 

The immediate monetary need is to raise at least $125,000 from our community to strengthen a Round 2 application. All donations are tax-exempt. ASI has identified a building to purchase as a Senior Center, which will allow for a much-needed expanded space and services. The ASI grant application proposes a $2 million request. The proposed budget will include a building purchase and the necessary renovations for a large dining room, food storage, offices, a large commercial kitchen, and space for activities.

 

Our proud sponsor EXIT Realty Home & Ranch is helping us to reach our goal.  Will you join them?

If senior supportive services interest you or if the mission of helping keep older adults in the community for as long as they are able speaks to your heart, please consider donating by writing a check payable to Archuleta Seniors Inc. or by calling us. You may also mail your donation to P.O. Box 3444, Pagosa Springs, CO 81147. For general information about ASI, please visit http://www.psseniors.org/.
