About PARKER AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOUNDATION

The Parker Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation is the 501(c)(3) philanthropic arm aligned with the Parker Chamber of Commerce. It operates with a separate board of directors and staff to manage charitable activities that strengthen the local community and business environment. The Foundation sponsors and operates the annual Parker Days Festival in downtown Parker; proceeds from the festival fund the Foundation’s grantmaking and other philanthropic efforts. Since 2023 the Foundation has expanded a community grants program supporting local nonprofits and projects within a 20-mile radius of Parker. The Foundation’s grant awards are intended for specific programmatic needs and local events (typical grants range from $500–$2,500), and its board is composed of local business and community leaders who oversee grant decisions and Foundation operations.
