The Millennium Trust was
established as a permanent fund of The Community Foundation
Serving Boulder County to serve the needs of Boulder County
residents in perpetuity. It was created by donations from
thousands of Boulder County residents giving their last
hour of income. Donors ranged from children giving allowances
to elders on limited incomes, giving their last hour of
income in 1999. They gave their money to help meet the
needs of the new millennium in the areas of the arts,
environment, civic involvement, education, and/or health
and human services.
Grants from 2000 through
2009 total $ 748,265.
Each year, a group of Millennium Trust donors
is selected at random to serve as the advisory committee.
This group will help focus priorities for the year and
will make grant recommendations to The Community Foundation
Board of Trustees.
Millennium Trust funding focus for 2010.
The due date for Letters of Intent for 2010 Millennium
Trust grants is March 31, 2010.
The Millennium Trust for Boulder County was initiated
as a
partnership between The Community Foundation Serving
Boulder County and the Daily Camera in 1999.
