Are we leaving the community brighter? We’ve demonstrated our impact.
Building inclusivity among Boulder County’s leaders and decision-makers leads to brighter solutions for everyone. The Community Foundation’s Leadership Fellows program assembles a cohort of future leaders, many from under-represented communities, and inspires them with a deep understanding of community issues, as well as skills they’ll need to serve an organization in a leadership role. The impact: 64% of Fellows have joined a local board or commission within six months of completing the program, bringing fresh ideas and diverse voices to the problem-solving and policy-making tables.
Our responsive granting process has two big impacts. First, since 1991, The Community Foundation has granted more than $64 million in Boulder County and beyond. Of course, dollars invested in the community have enabled some great things. But we also populate our grant review committees in a unique way. The impact: our volunteers come away from the process with tools and knowledge about Boulder County. This year, nine committees are reviewing 182 proposals requesting $1.2 million, a 20% increase from 2014.
