BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Community Foundation Boulder County today announced the 104 community partners selected as 2024 Community Trust grant recipients. This year’s grantees, recommended by community volunteers, will receive a combined total of $434,350 to help address Boulder County’s most pressing needs.
“Every year, through the work of our Community Trust fund, we’re reminded of the amazing work Boulder County’s nonprofits do day in and day out to help build a community where all can thrive,” said Tatiana Hernandez, CEO of Community Foundation Boulder County. “The community foundation is thrilled to support these 104 organizations working to create equitable solutions to our county’s most pressing needs.”

- Animal care and welfare.
- Arts and culture.
- Civic engagement.
- Education.
- Environment.
- Health and human services.
“Since our founding more than 30 years ago, Community Foundation Boulder County has been an industry leader in community-driven grantmaking,” said Sarah Harrison, the community foundation’s vice president of programs. “We’re grateful for the volunteers who, using their diverse set of perspectives, work together to make grant recommendations that will have a lasting impact on our communities.”
