The $7 Million Construction Project

This renovation project for two commercial buildings and approximately 1/2 acre of land, used by over 50,000 people annually and open 365 per year, is much needed after 22 years since our last maintenance and renovation project. Projects include:

Full parking lot replacement
Roof replacement including snow fence, heat tape and gutters
Re-landscaping in conjunction with Restore the Gore and new Memorial Area
Solar Panels and Electric Vehicle Chargers
Entry step replacement and snowmelt installation
Window replacement
ADA compliance
Elevator replacement
Sacristy renovation
Energy efficient electrical and HVAC system replacements
Lower level renovations and equipment replacement
Security, sound and IT/AV upgrades
Refurbishing all woodwork throughout Chapel, pews and chairs
Riverside Spaces and Garden Renovation

The Endowment / Reserve Fund

The Vail Religious Foundation has never done any fundraising to assist with costs of operations. Our Reserve Fund, or Endowment (the savings to pay for major repairs and capital costs in the future), is very low due to the cost of starting up these construction projects. In order to maintain the buildings for the next 20 years (through 2041), and/or survive a catastrophic economic event, loss of congregation(s), or another pandemic, the Vail Interfaith Chapel will need $2.5 million by 2022.
