Bright Future Foundation began as a grassroots organization, then known as The Resource Center of Eagle County. The mission of The Resource Center was to help women and children affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse.

In November 1983, a nun from Minturn, Colorado ran a newspaper ad asking for help to support local women in crisis. In response, a small circle of women gathered at the chapel to discuss the issues, chart a course of action, and pass the hat to fund the first mailing of the new organization. The organization was incorporated and registered with the state of Colorado as a nonprofit in February 1984, and eventually became Bright Future Foundation.

Today, Bright Future Foundation offers a full complement of professional services that help to break the generational cycle of violence by providing immediate relief to families in need. Bright Future Foundation provides proactive and culturally sensitive programs that create sustainable emotional, behavioral, and community change.
