| The Open
Door Fund, a permanent endowment of The Community Foundation,
supports the Boulder County community by raising money
and distributing grants for programs that enhance the
lives of its gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender
people.
Applications are now being accepted for 2010
Open Door Fund grants. Applications are due July 14, 2010. See the Open Door Fund RFP
page.
The Open Door Fund conducted a survey in the spring of 2010 to help identify the LGBT community
and the community needs we should fund.
Thanks to all who responded to the survey! Here are the results:
Executive summary. Statistical sumary. Full Report.
Since our founding in 1996,
we have made grants totaling more than $350,000 to agencies and programs serving the LGBT
community in Boulder County, and have built an endowment
nearing $400,000 to save for future needs. We
are the largest funder of LGBT needs in Boulder County,
Colorado.
