Creating change

Colorado’s foundations help create opportunity, improving the lives of countless numbers of people – like Kimberly, the formerly homeless mother who now has her own home where she can raise her children.

Foundations also help meet community needs across the state – such as in rural Naturita, which has a new 4,400-square-foot library building, or in Grand Junction, where foundations helped avert a potential bankruptcy at a mental health center serving 300,000 residents.

Foundations are free to invest where they can achieve the greatest impact. They help today by strategically investing for tomorrow, whether providing leadership to improve educational opportunities for Colorado’s children or helping to protect the state’s scenic acreage and open space.

Even so, Colorado foundations will not be able to meet the growing demand for programs and services alone. More and more initiatives will involve teaming with government, business and nonprofit partners working to tackle the state’s biggest challenges.
