KIM WILKERSON MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
This scholarship is in memory of Kim Wilkerson, a Broomfield High School math teacher that passed away in 1999.

BROOMFIELD YOUNG AUTHORS & ARTISTS
This fund was established to publish the former BYA&A booklet that included student works (drawing and written). Currently that program is on hold and input is being considered for the future of the fund.
ROTARY
Broomfield's two Rotary clubs established this as a donor advised fund in order to give additional grants in the Foundation's annual granting process. Four Rotarians sit on the Foundation's grant committee and participate in the three annual grant cycles.
LEGACY
This is the Foundation's main endowment fund. It was started by a challenge from Jack TerHar, Jr. in 1999. He was joined by Wells Fargo, Vectra, Aerosuds and Shirron, Inc. in asking the community to meet a match in order to eventually raise $1,000,000. Once the fund reaches that original goal, the $1 million will remain the principal and any interest or additional money can be used to increase granting capacity. This fund is for the future of the Foundation-it will be able to continue the granting process, even in hard times.
DISASTER RELIEF
This fund is only used in the case of a community disaster. Donations could be given to the Foundation and every penny would be used to help with expenses to improve the disaster situation. This fund was established when Maryel Manor had a fire many years ago.
SPECIAL NEEDS
This fund helps those in need when there are no resources or resources have been exhausted. Referrals are taken from other non-profit agencies that help clients. Payment is always made to the service provider, never to the individual. Examples include rent and utility assistance, dental and eye care needs, programs for foster care children when the parents cannot afford to pay, and prescription assistance.
