Pueblo Bank & Trust is currently inviting applications for community grants through the Pueblo City & County Foundation fund. This initiative provides a valuable opportunity for local organizations to secure funding for projects that benefit the Pueblo community. The deadline for submitting grant requests for 2023 is August 30th, and awards will be decided by an independent committee.
The Pueblo City & County Foundation fund was established through the legacy of Edna Prevost, a dedicated local school teacher who passed away in 1971. Her vision was to ensure that her assets would be used to continuously support and uplift the Pueblo community. In line with this generous intention, Pueblo Bank & Trust diligently manages the foundation, ensuring that grants are awarded to initiatives that align with Prevost’s philanthropic goals and address the evolving needs of the community.
Organizations seeking funding are encouraged to submit a concise request letter, limited to one to two pages. This letter should detail the project for which funding is sought, its anticipated community impact, and the amount of grant funding requested. Applications should be directed to the Pueblo City & County Foundation, care of PB&T Bank – Trust Services, at 301 W. Fifth St., Pueblo, CO, 81003. For convenience, electronic submissions are also accepted via email at [email protected].
Pueblo Bank & Trust’s commitment to the community extends beyond financial services. By facilitating these grants, Pueblo Bank & Trust plays a pivotal role in fostering local development and supporting initiatives that enhance the quality of life for Pueblo residents. This grant program exemplifies their dedication to community partnership and investment in the region’s future.
