Every contribution is thoughtfully stewarded.

Your gift to the Broomfield Community Foundation helps create meaningful change in our community—whether you’re supporting local nonprofits, addressing critical needs, or honoring a loved one’s legacy. Giving through the Foundation is flexible:

• You can donate to an existing fund
• Support a broad program area that addresses a specific community issue
• Or make a gift that supports the area of greatest need

Every contribution is thoughtfully stewarded and used exactly as you direct. As a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 84-1246756), your donations are often fully tax-deductible. Interested in donating to an existing scholarship instead of a fund? View all scholarships .

Thinking bigger?

Start a fund of your own

If your family is committed to long-term philanthropic giving, the Foundation would be honored to help you create a family fund that reflects your values and legacy—whether you’re passionate about education, mental health, the arts, or another cause close to your heart. Through Donor Advised Funds and Special Purpose Funds, families can:

• Recommend grants over time to nonprofits they care about
• Engage multiple generations in shared giving
• Create a legacy of generosity that grows over time

To learn more about starting a fund, email info@broomfieldfoundation.org. We’ll reach out to schedule a coffee meeting or virtual call—whatever you prefer.

Foundation Funds

General Fund – Partners in Philanthropy

The general operating fund for the Foundation. The fund also supplements the Foundation’s annual grant cycle.

Legacy Fund – Endowment

The Foundation’s main endowment fund. Interest from this fund provides approximately half of the grant funding for the annual grant cycle. For the next four years, gifts to this fund will be doubled through the Road to $3M Match Challenge, generously sponsored by the TerHar family. The goal is to reach $3 million by the end of 2030.

100% of every dollar donated goes directly to the Foundation’s annual grant cycle, in which approximately 60 nonprofit organizations who directly serve Broomfield County are funded. iGIVE365 donations reside in this fund.
