Catalog for Giving, 2nd edition (2003)
Catalog for Giving, 2nd edition, provides information about "many small, little-known nonprofits located in Boulder County with creative approaches to addressing the issues that face our community's disadvantaged children and young adults. The Catalog for Giving of Boulder County was developed to bring public attention to these organizations that provide services to youth, but which have a difficult time finding financial support and other necessary resources. ... The Catalog for Giving gives you the opportunity to support these local grassroots organizations."

Catalog for Giving, 1st edition (2001)
The Catalog for Giving, 1st Edition "gives you a glimpse of some of the remarkable work non-profits in Boulder County are doing to change the lives of disadvantaged children. It also gives you the opportunity to support these local grassroots organizations. ... The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County and the Brett Family Foundation partnered to create this Catalog to give these non-profits the recognition they deserve."

Culture of Giving Business Partners (2001-2006)
The Culture of Giving Business Partners recognized the businesses and business owners in Boulder County that care a great deal about the community and demonstrated this by regularly giving back. Business Partners donated 2% or more of their pre-tax domestic earnings (or an in-kind equivalent) to their choice of charitable organizations in the community.

Funders' Fair (2002)
The Funders' Fair was a day-long meeting which provided Boulder and Broomfield County nonprofits with an opportunity to meet face to face and cultivate relationships with funders, including foundations, corporations and government agencies.

Golf (2003)
The Community Foundation and the Lake Valley Country Club co-sponsored "Tee-It-Up", a golfing fundraiser.

Great Giving Match (2001, 2003)
The Great Giving Match was a challenge grant matching program for nonprofit organizations to build endowment funds. The program was discontinued after two cycles, 2001 and 2003.

MBA Internships (inactive)
MBA Internships: In the past The Community Foundation has partnered with the University of Colorado and the Center for Entrepreneurship to place MBA students in nonprofits over the summer.

Pine Cone Funds (through 2004)
Pine Cone Funds were established as an option for families who would have liked to create a legacy for themselves but were not in a position to set aside the $10,000 minimum required to establish a fund at one time.

The donors contributed $1000 a year to a personal account, which The Community Foundation invested for them. The Foundation reinvested all interest, dividends and other earnings, and waived its fee until the fund reached the donor advised minimum level, so the "Pine Cones" would grow more rapidly.

Once the fund reached $10,000, the donors began to direct the interest earnings into the community, to fund the issues and groups they cared about.



Press Releases
2000-2009

Ski-a-Thon (2003) The Community Foundation and the Eldora Mountain Resort co-sponsored a fundraiser for The Catalog for Giving, 1st edition.

Teens Giving 10 (1999-2002)
Teens Giving 10 began as a pilot program in 1999, to promote philanthropy in Boulder County youth. It brought together a group of high school students to distribute $10,000 in grants. The teens discussed community needs, agreed on focus areas, considered proposals, conducted site visits, and made wise recommendations on allocating the funds. The focus of their funding was teen homelessness. Teens Giving 10 made its first grants to Attention Homes, The Inn Between in Longmont, and People's Clinic.
