Caring Hearts of Red Feather Lakes Foundation

The Caring Hearts Foundation was established to provide vital community services and events to Red Feather Lakes’s residents and visitors and to raise funds for reinvestment in the local community. The foundation organizes various events such as fun runs, 5k races, festivals, silent auctions, and other family-friendly activities to raise funds for the betterment of Red Feather Lakes. Currently, we are raising funds to build public restrooms in the village, as there are currently no public restrooms accessible outside of the community library's operational hours. Our long-term goal is to construct a Recreation Center in Red Feather Lakes, which will include a healthcare clinic, addressing the existing absence of such facilities in the area. We are currently in the planning and fundraising stages for these projects, and your support is crucial to the success. Red Feather Lakes is a small unincorporated mountain community, well-known throughout Colorado as a small fishing community. The area has been rapidly growing. According to Data USA, the population of RFL increased from 385 in 2019 to 591 in 2020, marking a 53.5% growth. Determining the exact population is challenging due to many seasonal homes and unclear RFL borders. When considering the surrounding communities, the population expands even further. While most residents prefer to maintain the small-town feel, seasonal tourism significantly impacts local businesses. The events organized by the Caring Hearts Foundation play a vital role in attracting visitors, supporting local businesses, and keeping our community vibrant. Red Feather Lakes has thrived for a century, and as we look towards the next 100 years, we have the opportunity to shape its future. The formation of the Caring Hearts of Red Feather Lakes Foundation is aimed at fostering community pride and organizing top-notch events that cater to all while also providing crucial support to the businesses that are the lifeblood of our community.
