easy to recognize what you can't do. The Catalog for Giving
is about what you can do. |
Dear
Friend:
This Catalog 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.
Within our community, various disadvantages interfere with our children's
health and happiness. Though many of us enjoy prosperity, Boulder County's
high cost of living drives a surprising number of families into poverty.
Some children live with abuse and neglect. Some struggle with developmental,
emotional, or physical disabilities. Many lack adult guidance and support.
Children from minority or non-English-speaking families face yet other challenges.
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. Your contribution will ensure they receive
the financial support needed to continue their crucial work.
Following a rigorous evaluation process, a
community selection committee chose these twelve
non-profits from numerous applicants. Each of the organizations practices
sound financial management and operates with a competent and caring staff,
board of directors, and group of volunteers. Because the costs of this Catalog
were donated, 100% of your contribution will go directly to the organizations,
whether you designate a particular nonprofit or want us to divide your contribution
equally among them.
All of these dedicated groups work to make a difference in the lives of
our community's disadvantaged children. They strive to give kids faith in
themselves, the knowledge that someone genuinely cares, and the chance to
develop the strengths and skills they need to make it in life.
Recent events in our country and our world have reaffirmed many Boulder
County residents' commitment to community. You are holding a Catalog that
shows how you can positively impact the lives of our community's most vulnerable
children. Please join us in making a difference.
