The Equity Funds, a discretionary grantmaking initiative by Community Foundation Boulder County, are designed to address various needs across Boulder County. These funds align directly with the Foundation's mission to enhance community well-being by engaging donors in philanthropy and distributing grants to support diverse groups. The initiative comprises three distinct funds: BRAVO, Open Door, and Veterans, each with specific strategic priorities and target beneficiaries, all contributing to the broader goal of building resiliency and fostering opportunities within the community. The BRAVO Fund specifically targets Latino communities in Boulder County, aiming to improve their quality of life by promoting social justice, strengthening Latino leadership, and empowering them through philanthropy. Priority is given to projects that bolster the arts, environmental, health and human services, civic, educational, and cultural aspects of these communities, particularly those initiated by Latinos. The expected outcome is to support community-led initiatives that build resilience and foster active voices, with approximately $6,500 available for grants this year, with minimum grants of $1,000. The Open Door Fund focuses on supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) individuals and allies in Boulder County. Its strategic priorities include supporting the strengths and needs of LGBTQ+ individuals, building community, fostering collaboration, and providing support for organizations serving this population. The fund prioritizes new and emerging ideas that contribute to systemic change, with a preference for primarily LGBTQ+-focused organizations. With approximately $50,000 available this year, and minimum grants of $1,000, the fund aims to cultivate a stronger, more inclusive LGBTQ+ community and facilitate dialogue with the broader community. Finally, the Veterans Fund is dedicated to supporting Boulder County Veterans and their families through grants to community partners. This fund's mission is to support the strengths and needs of Veterans and transitioning service members, build community among them, foster education about Veterans’ issues, and provide support for relevant organizations. Priority is given to projects and organizations demonstrating strong Veteran involvement in planning and implementation. The fund has approximately $11,500 available for grants this year, with minimum grants of $1,000, aiming to create, sustain, or expand programs and projects that directly benefit Veterans and their families. Eligibility for all funds requires grantees to be IRS 501(c)(3) public charities or governmental entities, with funds used exclusively for activities within Boulder County or benefiting its residents, ensuring local impact and alignment with the Foundation's charitable objectives.

The City of Dacono's 2025 Community Grant program is an annual initiative designed to provide financial support to community organizations. The program's core objective aligns with the City Council's mission to appropriate funds that directly benefit the Dacono community. The amount of funding available each year is flexible, determined by current priorities and the city's available revenue, ensuring that the grants can adapt to evolving community needs and economic conditions. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are community service organizations, federally designated non-profit corporations, and organized school groups. The program aims to foster a stronger, more vibrant community by empowering these entities to carry out their important work. While specific impact goals are not explicitly detailed, the underlying objective is to support initiatives that enhance the quality of life, address local challenges, and promote community well-being within Dacono. The eligibility criteria underscore the program's focus on established and organized groups. Applicants must be recognized community service organizations, federally designated non-profit corporations, or organized school groups. A crucial requirement for applicable non-profits is the submission of a valid and current 501(c)(3) registration, ensuring accountability and legitimate non-profit status. This priority on recognized and legally established organizations helps ensure that funds are directed to entities with a proven capacity for community impact. Expected outcomes and measurable results are implicitly tied to the activities undertaken by the grantee organizations. While not explicitly stated in terms, the city's strategic priority is to support a diverse range of community-focused projects. The theory of change suggests that by providing financial resources to these eligible organizations, the City of Dacono can indirectly achieve its broader community development and support goals through the efforts of its community partners. The varying annual funding based on priorities and revenue also indicates a flexible approach to strategic allocation, adapting to the most pressing needs each year.
