“Community Foundation has been such a gift. It’s just magnified my belief in giving.” – Ann Cooper

Spring is a season of possibility — a time when small seeds grow into something lasting and transformative. At Community Foundation Boulder County, we nurture the people and partnerships planting those seeds, helping ideas take root and thrive.

This spring, we invite you to make a gift to support our annual fund. And thanks to a generous donor, all spring gifts will be matched dollar for dollar, up to $100,000 — ensuring your giving will go even further.

Together, we can help our local nonprofits meet increased needs from the communities they serve and continue to build an equitable community where everyone can thrive. Donate today at commfound.org/give.

Watch our latest video to learn more about our partnerships with community members like Ann, Martine, and Sophia, and with organizations like Intercambio and Cal-Wood Education Center.
