Expanding Leadership Initiative
Youth Leadership Development 2010/2011
Request for Proposals
The Expanding Leadership Initiative (ELI) is a program of The Community Foundation and reflects the Foundation’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity. ELI’s goal is to increase the number of people of color on staff and on boards of nonprofit organizations and to nurture multicultural leadership. The Expanding Leadership Initiative Advisory Committee, comprised of community representatives and Foundation Trustees, will review all proposals and make grant recommendations to the Foundation’s Board of Trustees.
Proposals are due Wednesday, September 15, 2010, and organizations will receive notification of funding by the end of September. More information and application process details

Community Trust Initiative
In 2008, we set a goal to raise $4 million for The Community Trust by 2012.
Doing so would allow The Community Foundation to double its grants from The
Community Trust, provide more security for Boulder County's future, and
allocate a portion of funds towards a key community issue, such as youth
risks and behaviors or the educational achievement gap. More information
Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado (EFCO)
Colorado has a vibrant entrepreneurial community. A group of entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, lawyers, and The Community Foundation have created the Entrepreneurs Foundation of Colorado (EFCO) to work with local entrepreneurs to help endow Colorado. Since entrepreneurial success is uncertain and the vast majority of entrepreneurial endeavors fail, EFCO decided to approach the problem in a unique fashion. Rather than wait for success to encourage philanthropic activity, at which point the successful entrepreneur is likely to be besieged by requests, EFCO decided to create a new program to help all entrepreneurs contribute early in the creation of their companies to the long term health and sustainability of Colorado.
