It’s the season of giving, and Boulder County has several excellent nonprofits worth supporting. If you want to make a difference with your charitable donations, here’s a list of nonprofits to consider:
Rocky Mountain Equality
Rocky Mountain Equality (RMEQ) is committed to building a community that is fair, inclusive, and compassionate—where LGBTQ+ people and families can live authentically. This nonprofit organization collaborates to offer services and responsive programs for LGBTQ+ individuals in our county and beyond. If you’d like to donate or fundraise, you can learn more here.
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) aims to inspire creativity and build community through contemporary art. We’re so lucky to have BMoCA in town, which has played a key role in enriching our city for more than 53 years. This museum provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy and explore art. Through exhibitions, educational programs, and initiatives, BMoCA consistently goes above and beyond to make art accessible. Donations are always appreciated.
TGTHR
TGTHR (formerly Attention Homes) is dedicated to ending youth houselessness. This organization offers essential services that help build a supportive community for young people. Some ways TGTHR supports youth aged 12-24 include employment assistance, education programs, supportive housing, long-term housing navigation, and more. There are many ways to get involved, from volunteering your time to donating.
Growing Gardens
Growing Gardens is an essential part of our Boulder community. This nonprofit organization manages seven community gardens throughout Boulder County, offering over 800 people space to grow their own food. Additionally, Growing Gardens provides community classes and children’s programs to promote the love of sustainable gardening among people of all ages. If you’d like to volunteer or donate, you can learn more here.
THE NEW LOCAL
THE NEW LOCAL is another fantastic gallery that we’re fortunate to have in Boulder. This venue focuses on highlighting the work of local female-identifying and non-binary artists. Besides providing a functional gallery space and prioritizing outreach to underserved communities, TNL offers great workshops, events, and family activities and classes.
