Community Foundation Boulder County Announces the 2023 Community Trust Grantees

145 community partners have been selected to receive discretionary funding to help address Boulder County’s most pressing needs


BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Community Foundation Boulder County, the community’s trusted philanthropic partner for more than 30 years, recently announced 145 community partners selected as 2023 Community Trust grant recipients. This year’s grantees, selected by community volunteers, will receive a combined total of just under $400,000 to help address Boulder County’s most pressing needs. 

“We are lucky to have so many amazing partners working to make our community a place where all can thrive,” said Tatiana Hernandez, CEO of Community Foundation Boulder County. “We’re grateful to work alongside them and strengthen their efforts for the benefit of our community.” 

The Community Trust is an endowed fund of Community Foundation Boulder County which offers discretionary grants to community partners addressing pressing needs and seeking equitable outcomes in our community. Every year, the community foundation nurtures and activates the leadership of roughly 80 community volunteers who review grants and make funding recommendations across six areas: animal care and welfare, arts and culture, civic engagement, education, environment, and health and human services. 

“Our grantmaking process is driven by the community,” said Sarah Harrison, the community foundation’s vice president of programs. “We value the leadership and wisdom of our community volunteers who come together to make funding recommendations.”
