Boulder County Civic Forum
The Boulder
County Civic Forum is the information arm of The
Community Foundation. Through the Forum's biennial "Quality
of Life in Boulder County" community indicators
report and ongoing research, we are able to learn about
- and educate others about - important indicators that
relate to quality of life here. The Boulder County Civic
Forum promotes healthy decision-making that will sustain
the environmental quality, livability, and economic
vibrancy of the Boulder County region.
The Culture of
Giving
The mission of the Culture
of Giving is to create a stronger, more connected
community by providing the resources, information and
tools to build upon Boulder County's growing philanthropic
culture. 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.
Expanding Leadership Initiative
The Community Foundation acknowledges
that diversity encompasses, but is not limited to, ethnicity,
race, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic
factors, physical and mental abilities and characteristics
and philosophy. The Expanding Leadership Initiative
will focus its first phase of programming on addressing
diversity and inclusiveness in organizations specifically
focusing on issues of race and ethnicity. The Expanding
Leadership Initiative will continue to expand programming
to address and support organizations on their path to
being comprehensively inclusive and representative of
the community. For more specifics on the first phase
of The Expanding Leadership
Initiative, click here.
