The Vail Valley Foundation (EIN 74-2215035) is a verified 501(c)(3) nonprofit that creates life‑enriching experiences across arts, athletics, education, and community supports for the Eagle River (Vail) Valley.

The Foundation operates signature venues and programs — including the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, the Vilar Performing Arts Center, the Vail Dance Festival, the GoPro Mountain Games, the Birds of Prey World Cup races, and the education subsidiary YouthPower365 — and leads community initiatives such as early childcare and workforce housing supports.
