Service Above Self
Improving Colorado lives through self-sufficiency
The City and County of Broomfield has grant funding available to local non-profit (NP) agencies that align with Health and Human Services Strategic Priorities and fill a health or human service need/gap for Broomfield residents.
The Broomfield Community Foundation was established in 1993 to create an ongoing source of funds for local charitable organizations. It is a vehicle for community philanthropy that enables individuals of both modest and substantial means to help “build a community with heart.”
We are a community of women who join together to collectively support
non-profits in Broomfield, Colorado. We turn $100 donations into thousands of dollars by harnessing the power of the group.
