Standing with Community

In Service to You

As a community foundation, we are here to support our local community. We recognize the challenges COVID-19 is putting on nonprofits and we are responding on multiple fronts to help nonprofits continue to serve our neighbors through the recovery efforts.

We launched the Community First Foundation Jeffco Hope Fund so that community partners serving Jefferson County can continue or even bolster their services in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. Community First Foundation has seeded this fund with $1 million and we invite individuals and businesses to join us.
There are over 2,600 nonprofits fundraising on ColoradoGives.org and they need our support today more than ever.
We are supporting The Colorado COVID Relief Fund, which is hosted by the State of Colorado and Mile High United Way.
