The West End Pay it Forward Trust is a simple way for everyone who cares about the West End – residents, visitors, former residents, and businesses – to support our community for the long term. By contributing to the Trust, you will help to develop a locally-controlled, permanent endowment fund that will act as a savings account for our future. The earnings from the Trust will be reinvested in our community year after year, growing the endowment and and increasing our ability to provide support for local projects and organizations.

WEPIFT 2024 Community Grant Application Cycle Now OPEN

The Fall 2024 Community Grant application cycle is now open. The total amount to be granted during this Community Grant Cycle is $20,500.00.As the result of successful fundraising efforts and a growing endowment, the West End Pay It Forward Trust now offers a yearly Community Grant opportunity. Annually, WEPIFT collaborates with Citizens State Bank to make grant awards to West End community organizations. Without the generosity of Citizens State Bank, WEPIFT would have substantially less funds to grant to community organizations.

WEPIFT Community Grants are available to any nonprofit organization, local taxing entity, or organization working under the umbrella of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives to benefit the community and its residents. Grants are awarded to organizations for projects that focus specifically on the West End communities of Nucla, Naturita, Bedrock and Paradox.
