This year marks three decades of since the founding of the Community Foundation Boulder County. The Community Foundation’s work in partnership not only with the nonprofit organizations in our communities, but with individuals, government and the for profit sector connects our community, helps people make better choices in their philanthropy and catalyzes ideas that inspire action. Over the last 30 years our communities have donated more than $100M to help us be better stewards of the inspiring work happening in the broad community that makes up Boulder County. Give today and support our work so we can continue to transform Boulder County together into an equitable, welcoming community for everyone.
