The Community Trust is the ideal way to give back. As the permanent grantmaking fund of The Community Foundation, the Community Trust addresses hundreds of needs throughout Boulder County across issue areas. It's flexible, it's responsive, and it's directed by members of the community who evaluate proposals and conduct site visits during a competitive process of application to determine where the greatest needs are.

In 2008, we set a goal to raise $4 million for The Community Trust by 2012. Initial success allowed The Community Foundation to nearly double funds granted in January 2009. Continuing success is making it possible for The Community Foundation to focus on how best to help reduce Boulder County's achievement gap, through early childhood school readiness.

Let's look after each other. Be a part of it and make a gift to The Community Trust this year. Please send an e-mail to or call us at 303-442-0436 for more information.
