Community foundations are tax-exempt public charities created by and for the people of a particular region (in this case Longmont and the St. Vrain Valley). Over 700 community foundations around the world bring together donors who want to help nonprofits meet community needs.
Our Mission:
Improving Life in the St. Vrain Valley Through Philanthropy and Charitable Leadership
How do you improve life in the St. Vrain Valley through philanthropy and leadership?
- First, we have a Community Endowmentthat allows us to respond to the changing needs in the community. Donors have contributed generously over the years to this endowment, and the earnings go to fund our Community Grants Program. We distribute thousands of dollars to local nonprofits – large and small – each year through the Community Grants Program. Our grant deadline is December 1st of each year. Grant applications are reviewed by our group of community volunteers. Grant awards are distributed each spring.
- Second, we manage charitable funds for local donors, businesses and nonprofits – more than 75 of them. We offer you the power and flexibility in charitable giving without the legal paperwork, time and expenses associated with running your own foundation. We can help you set up a Fund that will maximize both your tax advantages and your impact in the community – for now and forever.
