Open Door Fund
Enhancing the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) people and allies
About the Open Door Fund
The Open Door Fund supports lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals and allies in Boulder County.
From older adults to youth, our LGBTQ+ community faces persistent challenges including discrimination in the workplace, at school, when seeking healthcare, and in public spaces, as well as increased mental health struggles due to discrimination, stigma, and social isolation.
In response, the Open Door Fund, a permanent endowment of Community Foundation Boulder County, aims to support the strengths and needs of the LGBTQ+ community in Boulder County through grantmaking to organizations supporting LGBTQ+ individuals.
Since 1996 the fund has raised over $2M from thousands of donors and distributed nearly $1M to provide for the continuing needs of this community.
