The El Pomar Foundation, a philanthropic organization based in Colorado Springs, has donated $25,000 to the Family & Intercultural Resource Center as it seeks a new base of operations.
The resource center, in partnership with the mental health nonprofit Building Hope, is building a new facility to house both organizations’ services. Set to be constructed near the Alta Verde workforce neighborhood in Breckenridge, the roughly 18,000-square-foot SolCenter building could be open by fall 2025.
Projected costs for the center recently jumped 20%, with cost hikes attributed to inflation, supply chain issues and a lack of specialized contractors in the county, according to nonprofit leaders.
The full cost is now expected to be around $13.4 million.
The foundation’s funding was part of more than $107,000 in donations to High Country organizations including to the Eagle Valley Community Foundation and Habitat for Humanity Vail Valley.
