The Community Foundation's Open Door Fund enhances the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) people in Boulder County.
From seniors to youths, our LGBTQ community faces persistent challenges. In response, the Open Door Fund – a permanent endowment of the Community Foundation – aims to support the strengths and needs of the LGBTQ population throughout the county in three ways: by building community, by facilitating collaboration and dialogue between our LGBTQ community and the broader community, and through fundraising and grantmaking.
Since its founding in 1996, the Open Door Fund has distributed grants totaling more than $448K to local agencies and programs serving our LGBTQ population. Additionally, the fund has established a $1M endowment to provide for the continuing needs of this community.
