We are so grateful for the Weld Community Foundation! THANK YOU for selecting us to participate in the Endowment Challenge and the $10,000 matching gift to establish our endowment fund!!!

We'd like to extend a huge congratulations to Centennial Area Health Education Center (CAHEC) for meeting their Endowment Challenge Goal!

CAHEC engages in critical work in our community by providing continuing educational opportunities for healthcare professionals.

After being awarded the Nonprofit Endowment Challenge Grant in 2024, CAHEC had about two years to raise $10,000. The Weld Community Foundation then matched that funding dollar-for-dollar to establish an endowment.

Endowments serve as a reservoir of funding that can be drawn upon annually to create sustainable funding for an organization.

Congratulations to CAHEC and thank you for spreading the good!
