About the Foundation

The “Nick Would” Foundation is a Donor Advised Fund of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation. This means the fund advisors make recommendations to Yampa Valley Community Foundation for where the funds will be distributed. Grants from the fund will be made to qualified charitable organizations and targeted around expanding access to outdoor pursuits, wildland exploration, and artistic development to those who otherwise could not experience these activities for physical, mental, or economic reasons.

Nick Simon was passionate about each of these activities and it is our intention to help spread these experiences as the best way to honor Nick’s legacy. Nick loved to share his excitement (“share the stoke”) with anyone who joined in these activities, and with this foundation, we will be able to spread the “stoke” for future generations.

The “Nick Would” Foundation is a vehicle to share in Nick’s legacy for generations to come.
