Good Neighbor Fund
The Telluride Foundation has established the Good Neighbor Fund to provide emergency assistance for local families and individuals with limited resources in times of financial crisis.

The goal of the Good Neighbor Fund is to help individuals stay in the community and households stay intact during times of financial crisis. The Fund achieves this through assisting with certain qualified needs including housing, transportation or medical treatment.

Emergency Assistance grants will be administered through a formal application process.

To be eligible to receive a grant from the Good Neighbor Fund, individuals or families must reside or be employed in San Miguel County for a minimum of six months prior to making a formal application. They must also demonstrate that they have exhausted all other avenues of financial support. Individuals and households may only apply to the Fund once every two years. 

Grants will be for relatively small and urgent needs, such as short-term transportation and lodging and medical emergencies. Payments will be made directly to providers of the services for the individual or family in need and not to individuals. No payments shall be made for services currently provided by a government or other agency and grants will not be made for requests to cover things such as legal fees and court costs, child support, alimony, fines, parking tickets, cable bills.

For more information on how to the fund or how to apply please contact the Good Neighbor Fund administator at 970-728-5613.
