Bluebird Charitable Fund: Empowering our Community
At Bluebird, one of our core missions is to contribute to the well-being of our community. Both our agents and the company feel a strong sense of responsibility to ensure that our neighbors are well-served and cared for.
The Bluebird Charitable Fund was established in 2017 when the company was founded, with the goal of promoting the people of the Gunnison Valley. Throughout the year, both the agents and the company contribute a percentage of every closing commission to the Fund.
A volunteer committee at Bluebird gathers nominations from our team and thoughtfully selects local charitable causes to support with grants. At the end of the year, all the funds are distributed to the chosen recipients.
This year, the Bluebird Charitable Fund supported:
Living Journeys – cancer support and services for cancer patients and families
Project Hope – life support and services for people with domestic challenges
Gunnison Country Food Pantry – food support and services
Gunnison Valley Mentors – job and life skills support for youth
Hispanic Affairs Project – life and work support for immigrant locals
Gunnison Valley Women’s Network – business networking and support for women
PAWS, Paradise Animal Welfare – rescue, housing, and adoption services for dogs
Gunnison Wildlife Association – protecting the health of wildlife
Mountain Words Festival – a multi-day literary celebration featuring readings, panels, live theater, and more
Crested Butte Avalanche Center – prevents the loss of life, limb, and property to avalanches
Tenderfoot Child and Family Development Center – to educate and nurture children
We offer a big thank you to our 2024 Charitable Committee: Joel Vosburg, Ross Tunkey, and Trevor Bona, the Committee Chair.
Bluebird lives by the model of “bringing dreams home,” which serves both our clients and our community in purposeful ways.
