Devastating Fire
On November 15th, a devastating fire hit the Fairways Apartment building
leaving members of our local Sudanese Community of Lost Boys and Girls
homeless and without basic belongings. If you are looking to lend your
support, you may do so through the Anastasia Fund, a fund of The Community
Foundation that provides funding towards medical, educational, and housing
needs for the Community of Sudanese and American Women. Contact Chris Barge
at
/ 303-442-0436 x110 or mail a check indicating the
purpose of your donation to The Community Foundation, 1123 Spruce Street,
Boulder, CO 80302.
Community Trust Initiative
In 2008, we set a goal to raise $4 million for The Community Trust by 2012.
Doing so would allow The Community Foundation to double its grants from The
Community Trust, provide more security for Boulder County's future, and
allocate a portion of funds towards a key community issue, such as youth
risks and behaviors or the educational achievement gap. More information
Next Knight Foundation Grant Application Deadline: January 30,
2009. More information.
You know the organization -- now see the video:
"For Good. For Ever."
A marvelous video which tells "Our Story"
by showing interviews with the President, a TCF Fund Holder,
and trustees of The Community Foundation and by visiting staff
and activities of seven Boulder County nonprofits which have
received grants from The Community Foundation.
Play the
video.
Grantees must fill in a Grant
Report Form which is due one year after the Grant
