PROFILE: Established in 1993, the Broomfield Community Foundation (BCF) is a community foundation based in Broomfield, Colorado. This foundation manages over 25 charitable funds and supports more than 100 local nonprofits. The foundation aims to “inspire, connect, impact and strengthen Broomfield through the power of philanthropy.” BCF funds local efforts for civic projects, human services, arts, humanities, seniors and education.
The Broomfield Community Foundation keeps its grantmaking within these five focus areas to benefit Broomfield citizens. It is particularly interested in funding collaborative initiatives and innovative programs. BCF does not provide funding for capital campaigns, food that is not critical to a program, religious or political causes, trips, event sponsorships, or individuals. There is one grant cycle per year; however, BCF reviews time-sensitive out-of-cycle grants on a case-by-case basis. Community initiatives of BCF are Up with People, the Broomfield Housing Opportunities Coalition and Communities That Care.
Grants range between about $1,000 and $20,000. Learn more about this funder’s local giving by examining its recent tax records. Grantmaking focuses on the Broomfield area of Colorado.
