How you can help:

Since our inception in 1993, The Broomfield Community Foundation has granted over $3.5M to nonprofit organizations working in the areas of civic projects, human services, arts & humanities, seniors and education. When a donor establishes a donor advised fund, he or she may recommend where grants from those funds are directed.

We provide donors with a wide range of philanthropic tools, resources and pathways to fulfill their goals, create meaningful impact or leave the legacy they've always imagined. To learn more, please click the links below.
