How to Apply for Funding
The Park County Sheriff's Office Charitable Foundation provides monetary support, services, and goods to the employees of the Park County Sheriff's Office. Requests to the Foundation come directly from the men and women in uniform regardless of their rank or position. The Foundation expedites the most crucial requests first, helping to ensure the highest level of police service to the Park County community.
Giving Guidelines
Please note that the Foundation may turn down certain funding requests that appear to fit the guidelines. This typically occurs due to a lack of available funds: the Foundation cannot fund everything that is requested.
When multiple requests are received that meet these guidelines, the Foundation is most likely to approve the request that:
- Is less expensive (leaving more money to fund additional requests)
- Is logistically less difficult to implement (items for every Officer can be difficult to field across the entire force in certain instances)
- Includes equipment or programs that are lasting, not easily broken or misplaced (versus “one and done” type items)
- Has more detailed information surrounding the request and an implementation plan and maintenance plan (as needed)
- Maximizes visibility to the Community and to the entire Department
- Is not likely to be covered by existing Department funds now or in the future

Proposal review procedure
Once the Foundation receives a completed request for funding from a Park County Sheriff’s Office employee it will be reviewed by command staff first to ensure that the Foundation is the most appropriate source of funding, then forwarded to the Sheriff to be reviewed, and last, if appropriate and the request fits within Foundation Giving Guidelines, it will be considered by the Foundation Board.
