The Charitable Foundation of Slifer Smith & Frampton is pleased to announce the recipients of our 2026 Grant Cycle. This year, we are proud to award $30,000 in funding to 27 outstanding local nonprofit organizations, each dedicated to making a meaningful impact in our mountain communities.
“We simply cannot thrive here in Summit County if we don’t support the very foundations of our community – those who live and work here,” said Chris Lankhorst, Slifer Smith & Frampton’s Market President in Summit County and a member of the Charitable Foundation Board of Directors. “We are honored to be able to give back each year to organizations that make a difference in the day to day lives of our neighbors.”
At the SS&F Summit County Foundation, our mission is to support our community through needs-based giving, with a focus on families, youth enrichment, environmental stewardship, and animal welfare. Through the generosity of our ownership, brokers, staff, and clients, we pride ourselves on being a local company who prioritizes giving back to the place we call home.
The SS&F Summit County Foundation is excited to kick off the year in this way and look forward to continuing our commitment through volunteer efforts and ongoing charitable giving throughout 2026.
