Two Foundations
One Chapel
One Enduring Commitment

The Beaver Creek Chapel Endowment Foundation was established in 2012 to preserve, protect and perpetuate the Chapel at Beaver Creek.  It is a 501(c)3 non profit governed by a board of Trustees.

What your gift does

Your gift ensures the preservation, protection and perpetuation of the Chapel for generations to come.

The earnin

Give to the Endowment

Gifts of any amount are welcome and appreciated.  While chapel's ordinary operating costs are covered by weddings and use fees, the Endowment funds major capital repairs and replacement such as the roof, deck, windows, mechanical systems, etc.  The funds are managed by 1st and Main Investment Advisors.  Annual financial statements are prepared by CPA.

The Galvin Family Memorial Garden

A peaceful place in the heart of the mountains to remember loved ones, and to honor the people and families who have shaped the Beaver Creek community and the chapel's story.

Named in memory of the John and Linda Galvin Family, who played a significant role in founding the Chapel, the Memorial Garden is a peaceful place in the heart of the mountains to remember loved ones and honor the individuals and families who have helped shape the Beaver Creek community and the Chapel’s story.

Part of the Endowment

Gifts supporting the Memorial Garden help build the Endowment, so they care for the Chapel too.

Names Etched in Memory

Gifts to the Memorial Garden wall also strengthen the Endowment, helping preserve and care for the Chapel for generations to come. Donations in any amount are gratefully accepted.  The garden is open to the public as a quiet place to enjoy the beauty of the creekside location.  Because the memorial wall space is limited, the Trustees have developed criteria to guide the process for putting names on the wall.  A gift of $25,000 or more to the Endowment comes with the option of a name on the Memorial Garden wall, subject to this criteria.  A gift can be pledged over several years.  Click HERE to read the full Criteria.

We will work with you personally to arrange it.
