The TerHar Family Match Challenge
Every dollar matched, up to $50,000 each year.

BCF is excited to share that the 2026 Challenge was achieved by September 2026. We’ll be announcing the 2027 Challenge in the spring—look for announcements in our future communications. Meanwhile, should you still want to donate now, click the button below.

A permanent investment in Broomfield
A lasting charitable resource for generations to come.
The Legacy Fund was created to ensure future generations of Broomfield residents continue to have a strong, sustainable charitable resource supporting local nonprofits.
Unlike annual fundraising, gifts to the Legacy Fund are invested with a long-term perspective to grow the Fund and increase its charitable impact over time. Each year, the Foundation’s Board carefully balances grantmaking with preserving and growing the Fund, allowing it to address our community’s greatest needs today while building capacity to support future generations.
When you give to the Legacy Fund, you aren’t simply making a donation—you are helping build a lasting charitable resource that will strengthen Broomfield for years to come.
From vision to momentum
More than twenty-five years ago, the TerHar family challenged Broomfield to build something that would outlive all of us.

Why endowments matter
Resources for challenges we can’t yet see
We don’t know what challenges Broomfield will face twenty years from now. But we can help ensure the resources exist to meet them.
Whether responding to changing community needs, supporting families in crisis, investing in education, or strengthening local nonprofits, the Legacy Fund provides a permanent source of charitable support that grows stronger with every generation of donors. This is more than a fundraising campaign. It’s an investment in the future of our community.
Help build Broomfield’s forever fund.
