Summary

Commissioners authorized county staff to sign a previously budgeted $12,000 grant to Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers to support conservation, restoration and youth stewardship projects across the county.

Garfield County commissioners on Sept. 8 authorized signature of a $12,000 grant agreement to Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers (RFOV), a local nonprofit that runs volunteer stewardship projects and youth engagement in conservation and restoration.

Staff said the funds were previously budgeted in the 2025 county budget and the formal grant agreement was needed to disburse the money. RFOV provided an invoice and project list; staff reported RFOV had completed numerous projects across the county this year and presented a project spreadsheet in the meeting packet.

Commissioners noted the county is scrutinizing grants during the current budget cycle and confirmed this award covered the 2025 season only.

What’s next: county staff will execute the grant agreement and release the funds to RFOV for the 2025 project season.
