Welcome to the Parade of Homes!  How would you like to search for your new home?  These are just some of the search criteria we have included to help you find the perfect home for your family. The Parade of Homes is sponsored by the Summit County Home Builder's Association, (HBA).

The HBA's mission is to improve its members' abilities to responsibly meet the housing needs of our community. As a not for profit organization, the HBA carries out its mission through a variety of activities including:
  • Providing high-quality professional education and certification programs targeted to meet the diverse needs of industry professionals.
  • Showcasing the industry through annual events such as the Parade of Homes, which feature the latest in home building technology and design.
  • Advocating to state and local policy makers on behalf of industry interests to create a regulatory environment that fosters a vibrant and affordable housing market.
  • Publishing timely reports and periodicals to provide the latest information about housing activity.
  • Honoring member excellence in energy efficient construction, community design and marketing, as well as home remodeling through the Built Green® Colorado, BAR and CARE Award programs.
Summit County, Colorado is a vacation paradise for millions of visitors each year, but to more than 28,000 people it is also their home – a special community enriched by the work of The Summit Foundation.


Established in 1984 by the Breckenridge Ski Area, The Summit Foundation is a public community foundation dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents and guests of Summit County and neighboring communities. 


The Summit Foundation is a leader in building a legacy of generosity, supporting nonprofit organizations in our community that foster art & culture, health & human services, education, environment, scholarships, sports & recreation.  The Summit Foundation awards funds to nonprofit organizations twice per year from submitted applications.  Since 1986, The Foundation has awarded more than $8 million in grants which have been distributed to more than 230 nonprofit organizations.  Additionally, more than $1 million has been distributed in scholarships to students pursuing post-secondary education.

A partnership established with Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Beaver Creek Resort, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Resort, Keystone Resort, Vail Resort, and Winter Park gives the Foundation the opportunity to generate significant revenues to return to community organizations.  As a result of the generosity of the local ski areas, sponsors, donors and volunteers, The Summit Foundation raises more than $1.3 million annually to support the Foundation and our grant making programs.  Our goal is to assist those in need with a “hand up” rather than a “hand out”.  

The Summit Foundation raises revenue through individual and business donations, fund raising events, the patron pass program, and charitable gifts to our endowment, donor advised, scholarship and memorial funds.

About The Summit Foundation
Established in 1984 by the Breckenridge Ski Area, The Summit Foundation is a community public foundation dedicated to supporting the nonprofits of our community who in turn assist those in need of a “hand up” rather than a “hand out”.  The cornerstone of the Foundation’s fund raising is the Patron Pass Program anchored by a transferable ski pass generously donated by the local ski areas.  The partnership established with Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Copper Mountain Resort and Keystone Resort gives The Foundation the opportunity to generate significant revenues to return to community organizations.  Since funding began in 1986, The Foundation has awarded nearly $4 million to 159 nonprofit organizations in Summit County and neighboring communities.  For more information, please visit www.summitfoundation.org or call 970/453-5970 or email them at sumfound@colorado.net.
