Youth Advisory Council Announces Grantees

The BCF Youth Advisory Council (YAC) has successfully completed its 2025 grant cycle—culminating in the public announcement of this year’s nonprofit recipients at the Heart of Broomfield Awards.

This youth-led grantmaking process focused on supporting mental health services for Broomfield youth. From start to finish, YAC members led every stage of the cycle: promoting the opportunity, outlining a clear and youth-friendly application process—including a video submission component—responding to applicant questions, evaluating submissions, and making thoughtful, final funding decisions. They also took on the important role of notifying applicants of their outcomes with professionalism and care.

Thanks to their dedication, four organizations have been awarded grants to support local youth mental health initiatives:

• Rise Against Suicide
• Rise Above Colorado
• Cultural Brokers Advocates
• Broomfield Early Childhood Council

These grant recipients are working on the frontlines to support the emotional well-being of our youth, helping them build resilience, access resources, and feel seen and supported.

We applaud our YAC members for their leadership and compassion, and we thank our donors for making this youth-centered philanthropic experience—and the critical programs it funds—possible.
