The power of philanthropy is in the positive change it creates.

When resources and informed leadership come together, inspiration strikes and true transformation is possible. The Community Foundation is at the heart of this work in Boulder County. We are committed to transformational community leadership—the practice of foreseeing emerging community needs and leveraging resources and strategic partnerships to make a real difference.

Since our first grants in 1991, The Community Foundation has distributed more than $50 Million in Boulder County and beyond, and we are proud to say our leadership includes more than providing grants. Various programs at The Community Foundation honor current leaders in the non-profit sector and foster leadership development within currently underrepresented communities. Research and data about Boulder County trends and needs are compiled and shared to educate donors, decision-makers, and caring community members. Youth, entrepreneurs, and the community-at-large are encouraged to be active in building a culture of giving, and one of the most significant current issues in the county is being addressed through our work to make early childhood education accessible for Boulder County kids.

Inspired giving includes the voices, vision, and courage of many to support Boulder County's present and future. Be a part of it by making a gift or participating in one of our programs highlighted on the right.
