About Weld Legacy Foundation
Weld Legacy Foundation focuses primarily on strengthening local health care and patient services in northern Colorado, concentrating large gifts to regional hospitals, community clinics, and medical-equipment/support providers. They also fund disability/rehabilitation services and a smaller set of community human‑service providers (e.g., domestic violence support). Grants are typically unrestricted or for patient/operational support, suggesting a priority on sustaining day‑to‑day service delivery rather than capital projects or national initiatives.

About Weld Legacy Foundation
A $2.1 million grant to Sunrise Community Health anchors Weld Legacy Foundation’s recent giving and shows the scale of its commitment to patient support in northern Colorado. The foundation’s largest awards flow to local health care organizations that keep clinics, hospitals, and patient-facing services operating, with repeated support for North Colorado Medical Center across multiple years and a separate major award to A Woman’s Place for operational support. That pattern fits a funder that concentrates on direct service delivery rather than broad national programs. The grant list also shows sustained support for organizations that help patients access care and equipment, including Lifemed Safety Inc, Banner Imaging Services Colorado LLC, and Barton Carey Medical Products. Alongside health care, the foundation backs disability and rehabilitation services through Ensight Skills Center and includes some community human-service support in its portfolio. Its named funding programs reinforce that local orientation: Rapid Response Grants, Operating Grants, Capacity Building Grants, Healthcare Scholarships, Bright Futures Scholarships, Cycle Grants, and Heart Safe City all point to a northern Colorado strategy built around service continuity, workforce development, and targeted community needs.
What Weld Legacy Foundation Funds
Health care access is the clearest thread in Weld Legacy Foundation’s recent grants. It awarded $2,130,739 to Sunrise Community Health for patient support, and it has also funded Monfort Family Clinic for patient support in Evans. Hospital capacity is another major theme. The foundation gave $478,706 to North Colorado Medical Center for various department support items, adding to earlier awards for the same purpose in 2023 and 2024. Patient assistance and equipment are also part of the portfolio. Grants to Lifemed Safety Inc and Barton Carey Medical Products were labeled patient support or patient assistance, while Banner Imaging Services Colorado LLC and Banner Home Care received support tied to patient needs. Beyond health care, the foundation funded Ensight Skills Center for operational support and A Woman’s Place for operational support, showing that some of its giving extends to disability services and local crisis support.
How Weld Legacy Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster at a modest-to-mid scale, with a p25 of $6,609, a median of $22,276, and a p75 of $72,696. The distribution is shaped by a small number of very large health-care awards and many smaller operating or patient-assistance grants. Recent grants also show repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including North Colorado Medical Center, Ensight Skills Center, Lifemed Safety Inc, Banner Imaging Services Colorado LLC, Barton Carey Medical Products, Niche Design House, Banner Home Care, and Monfort Family Clinic. The foundation is structured as a grantmaker rather than an individual funder, makes no program-related investments, and accepts unsolicited applications through several programs including Operating Grants, Rapid Response Grants, Capacity Building Grants, Healthcare Scholarships, Bright Futures Scholarships, and Cycle Grants.
