Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is “to inspire, connect, impact, and strengthen Broomfield through the power of philanthropy.” It awards grants for programs in civic projects, human services, arts and humanities, senior services, and education, and says innovative programs and collaborative efforts are of particular interest.
Its 2025 grantees illustrate the range of organizations supported. Almost Home describes its work as emergency shelter and assistance and establishing permanent housing for low-income families. The Refuge describes itself as a hub for healing community, social action, and creative collaboration. Friends of Broomfield says it creates opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, while A Precious Child says it provides children in need with resources and opportunities. Community Food Share describes its mission as eliminating hunger in Boulder and Broomfield counties.
Grantmaking
The foundation’s 2025 filing reports 34 grants totaling $861,531. Grants ranged from $6,000 to $99,000, with a median of $14,500. Separately, the foundation’s website reports that in 2025 it granted $1,378,311 to 68 nonprofits across four grant cycles; these are separate reported figures.

The foundation describes two annual application cycles: Arts/Civic in spring and Human Services/Education/Seniors in fall. For the fall cycle, the application instructions describe a mandatory pre-qualification form; qualified agencies receive individual invitations to apply. Grant review committees evaluate and score applications, followed by board-approved recommendations. The foundation says reviewers consider financial health, project-management capacity, and clarity of goals, and that it monitors funded work through visits, meetings, and written reports.
