The "Culture of Giving," a movement of The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County is a joint effort of The Community Foundation, The Daily Camera, Sterling-Rice Group, Philanthropiece, Slice of Lime, and The Heyman-McConnell Family, among others.
We believe that thoughtful giving is a skill, one that requires research and learning. We hope to facilitate that process by bringing people, information, and resources together.

Local Heroes
Gretchen Beall
Professor Emeritus of College of Music, University of Colorado at Boulder
My own life has been enriched by the arts, from the music in my family
to my career at the University. Since retirement, volunteering first in
the arts with The Longmont Council for the Arts and the Longmont
Symphony Orchestra, and then following other social concerns have
helped me to discover and know a whole new community.
Mary and Lewis Stuckey
The real heroes are the people who take three or four hours a week and work with various organizations to make the country a better place to live. The rewards you get for the time you spend far outweigh the personal cost.

Dental Aid
Dale Montoya
As a young boy I inherited a
disease from my father. At a real early age my teeth started to come in
and they weren't getting white. So later on the dentist capped my teeth
with silver. When I went to school kids called me rude names. I used to
go home in tears almost everyday.
