Since 1991, Community Foundation Boulder County has been a community catalyst, responding to immediate needs and anticipating future challenges. We’re here to help your make a difference in the community you love.
INFORMED DECISIONS
Through informed decision-making, we inspire ideas, ignite action, and mobilize resources to improve the quality of life for all.
Key to informed decision-making, we listen. We listen to our nonprofit partners, community leaders, business leaders, philanthropists, professional advisors, and residents countywide. And we always welcome hour insights and contributions toward a shared knowledgebase and a stronger community.
Additionally, our biennial TRENDS Report shines a light on our community’s most challenging concerns and most promising potentials – as well as the unique strengths that make this community a great place to live, work, and play. TRENDS drives smart grantmaking for maximum impact, informs smart leadership on key community issues, inspires smart philanthropy that solves community challenges, and ignites smart action among community member who want to make a difference.
We compile TRENDS as a community resource for you, and for everyone who calls Boulder County home. We invite you to plug into local data, share what you’ve learned, and get engaged for a better Boulder County.

TOGETHER, WE IGNITE ACTION
Since the first TRENDS Report was published in 1998, we’ve been refining the indicators we track to more effectively guide and rally our community around our shared values. Because the better we understand our home – the gaps and gifts that set Boulder County apart – the better we work together to identify solutions, and build on our strengths. Together, we ignite community change.
