The Parker Chamber Foundation (PCF) 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 PCF 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.
PCF 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.

Community Grants Program
The Parker Chamber Foundation (PCF) awards grants to non-profit community organizations for specific needs, events, and programs that match the PCF mission. PCF has made more than $150,000 in community grants to dozens of area non-profit organizations since 2023. These grants are made possible by proceeds from the annual Parker Days Festival.
Grantee organizations must be located within 20 miles of Parker, Colorado. Granted funds must be put into action for the benefit of the Parker community (not necessarily exclusively). Grants will not be given for promotion of political purposes or for funds to be sent out of Colorado or the U.S. (example, no grants for foreign relief). The funds must benefit the local community.
Grants range between $500-2,500 per year. We recommend that you indicate a specific use for the funds, versus funds for general budget. The Grants Committee likes to see funds advancing a mission in a specific way. Grantee non-profits do not need to be members of the Parker Chamber, however information on non-profit memberships and programs are available HERE.
The Grants Committee may limit the total amount granted to organizations within the same category.
The application window for 2027 Community Grants will be open 1/1/2027 - 3/31/2027, with awards announced by 4/15/2027.
