Giving to Open Door
We hope that we will become one of your favorite LGBT nonprofits (if we're not already!). The Open Door Fund is different from other LGBT nonprofits in Boulder County in several, complementary ways: Open Door's purpose is solely to raise money for LGBT nonprofits;
Open Door gives grants to many nonprofits (average 10-12 per year) for many different programs (see this year's grant recipient awards);
Open Door also raises money for the future needs of the LGBT community, saving this money as endowment to provide a permanent source of grant funds;
Open Door is a fund of The Community Foundation, which subsidizes our administrative costs. That means that 100% of your donation goes to LGBT programs. Our committee members are an all-volunteer group, and thank you for your support.
