Supporting a Variety of Causes: BCF supports a wide range of causes, including education, healthcare, arts and culture, social services, and more (more than 60 organizations this year!). This means your donation can be directed to areas that align with your interests and values.

Networking and Collaboration: BCF facilitates collaboration among local nonprofits, businesses, and government agencies through a group called Broomfield Community Service Network (BCSN). Your donation can help strengthen these networks and promote cooperative efforts to address community challenges.

And last, but not least: 

Inspiring Local Giving: Your donation to your local community foundation can set an example for others in your community, encouraging them to also contribute to local causes and strengthen the foundation's ability to make a difference.
