Canyon Cares offers short-term financial assistance to those in need within Coal Creek Canyon, Nederland, and unincorporated Gilpin County, Colorado. The financial aid is paid to a third party (landlord, utility company, repair shop, etc.) rather than given directly to the person requesting aid.
The Process. A board member will contact you to discuss your needs. The board will then review your application and a determination will be made as to whether and how we can best meet your needs.
The Results. Within a short period of time, usually within 2 days, you will be notified of the board’s decision. It can be longer depending on the complexity of your request.
- Your Request Is Approved. Funds will be paid directly to the third party involved.
- Your Request Is Denied. You will be notified as soon as possible and provided with resources that may be able to assist you.
