Special Report to the Community
Thanks to our sponsors The Community Foundation would like to thank the Amgen Foundation and Elevations Credit Union, financial sponsors of this special report, and The Daily Camera, which provided the photos. Thanks to their support, no Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund dollars were spent producing this report.
Thanks to the volunteers The Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund was established by The Community Foundation at the urging of an ad hoc group of community leaders from inside the Fourmile Fire burn area. Those leaders included Joanne Cole, Gretchen Diefenderfer, Adriana Galue, James Graham and Amy Hardy. The fund became a source of meaningful grants for many of the fire departments and individuals hardest-hit by the September 2010 disaster. It would not have been possible without the generosity of the more than 1,000 individuals, corporations and foundations that contributed financially. The Community Foundation would like to especially acknowledge and thank the volunteers who made grants from the Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund possible. They include the Advisory Committee, chaired by Rich Lopez, a group of nine community and fire department leaders from inside the burn area that worked tirelessly to review the applications (with names redacted) for funding and award the grants. They also include the Governance Committee of mostly current and former Community Foundation Board Chairs, who established the policies and guidelines for the fund.
FEELING INSPIRED? The Community Foundation is no longer soliciting gifts for the Boulder Mountain Fire Relief Fund. However, there are still many ways you can help: GIVE to the Fourmile Fire Relief Fund at Foothills United Way. www.unitedwayfoothills.org.
