The Community Foundation has awarded over $30 million in grants
since our inception. In 2008, we awarded nearly $4.8
million to nonprofits. We fund in five areas: the arts,
civic involvement, education, the environment, and health and
human services. We fund nonprofits primarily in Boulder County,
although we also work with donors who wish to make grants through
us in other parts of the country and the world.
Grants to Boulder County nonprofit organizations
are made from the Community
Trust as well as field of interest
funds through a competitive grant
application process. The Arts
Trust, the Millennium
Trust, and the Open
Door Fund are examples of field of interest funds. Deadlines
and application requirements are different for different funds;
please check the links below for more information.

In addition, we have a number
of funds that are Donor
Advised Funds, each of which has its own grantmaking
capacity and process. Many function in the same way a family
foundation would, with The Community Foundation serving
as support staff. Donor Advised Funds can make grants locally,
nationally, or internationally. Fundholders become aware
of local grantmaking opportunities by reviewing grant proposals
submitted during The Community Foundation's Community Trust
or Millennium Trust Grant Cycles.
Requirements after receiving a grant
Grantees must complete a
Grant Report Form which is due one year after the grant start date. If you have already received a grant from The Community Foundation, including an update about your grant's progress with new requests for funding is strongly encouraged.
