We help people achieve philanthropic dreams.  

The Community Foundation of Northern Colorado is a nonprofit, public charity established in 1975 by local community leaders to serve our region. The Foundation is a collection of many different charitable funds, each separately accounted for, and each with its own design and purpose. Together we are building a better community by promoting philanthropy through creative donor services. Offerings include:

  • Services to donors to help make charitable giving easy, effective and enjoyable   
  • Knowledge of our community and the nonprofit sector
  • Responsible management of charitable funds
  • An alternative to the creation of a private Foundation

donor service, and accountability in the community foundation sector.
