To strengthen the bonds that make our communities thrive through engaged philanthropy.
Weld Community Foundation centers a wide mix of local giving in Weld County, with recent grants reaching youth programs, libraries, housing, food access, and cultural organizations. Among the largest recent awards are $775,600 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County and $703,950 to Greeley Creative District, showing support for both youth development and arts infrastructure in Greeley. The foundation also backed High Plains Library District Found with $514,312 and Weld Legacy Foundation with $508,844, placing substantial resources with community-serving institutions that anchor everyday civic life. Its scholarship activity is another defining thread. The foundation runs multiple scholarship paths for Weld County students, including countywide scholarship applications and school-specific awards tied to Greeley Central High School, Greeley West High School, and Eaton High School. That scholarship work sits alongside grants for nonprofit programs and community initiatives, including support for the arts, capital projects, disaster recovery, and organizational capacity. The overall picture is of a funder that combines broad charitable support with place-based commitments to local institutions and student aid.
Arts and culture are a visible part of the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $703,950 to Greeley Creative District for a general program grant, and also funded arts-related organizations such as Greeley’s cultural nonprofits through program support. Education and student support are another major line of work. The foundation operates scholarship programs for Weld County students, including school-linked awards for seniors at Greeley Central High School, Greeley West High School, and Eaton High School. It also awarded $260,000 to Mcpherson College and $125,000 to Mullen High School in separate recent grants. Community development and basic needs appear in grants to local nonprofits. Examples include $775,600 to Boys & Girls Clubs of Weld County, $75,846 to United Way of Weld County, and $51,216 to Weld Food Bank, indicating support for youth services, community coordination, and food access.
Typical grants cluster in the mid-thousands: the 25th percentile is $9,084, the median is $14,500, and the 75th percentile is $25,250. The recent grant list also shows a wide upper tail, with a small number of six-figure awards alongside many smaller local grants. Recipients recur across years, including Weld Legacy Foundation, Mullen High School, United Way of Weld County, Weld Food Bank, and African Christian College. The foundation uses a mix of program, general, charitable, and organizational support, and some opportunities are open through application while others are board-directed or not open to unsolicited requests.
