The Parker Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation (PACCF) is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization whose mission is to "support qualified endeavors that promote economic growth, business leadership, and community prosperity."
The PACCF is separate from the Parker Chamber of Commerce, but the two organizations are closely aligned. It has separate legal standing, a unique board of directors, and its own activities.
PACCF is the sponsoring organization of the annual Parker Days Festival held in Downtown Parker each June. In addition to providing a quality festival for the community and highlighting local merchants, the festival provides the income to support the Foundation's ongoing philanthropic efforts.
To learn more about the festival, please visit ParkerDaysFestival.com or email info@parkerdaysfestival.com.

The deadline for 2024 Community Grants applications is now closed. The application window for 2025 grants will open January 1, 2025.
Organizations applying for a PACCF Community Grant must be located in the Parker area and must directly and positively impact the Parker community. Grants must align with the foundation's mission (stated above). Grants are typically $500 or $1,000, although other specific amounts will be considered.
An organization is only eligible for one grant per calendar year.
Grantees must be non-profit organizations or programs of public entities (example, a school club). Individuals, for-profit enterprises, and out-of-state entities are not eligible for grants.
