Community Impact Film Highlights Power of Collaboration
A new Community Impact Film showcases how Broomfield nonprofits work together to help neighbors overcome challenges and build brighter futures. Through one individual's journey, the film demonstrates the life-changing impact of collaboration, compassion, and community support.
Investing in the Next Generation

Seven students received scholarships through the Broomfield Community Foundation this spring, helping them pursue their educational goals and future careers. Made possible through the generosity of local donors and scholarship funds, these awards continue a tradition of investing in Broomfield's future leaders.
Youth Advisory Council Awards $2,000 Grant
The Foundation's Youth Advisory Council recently awarded a $2,000 grant to the Five Star Education Foundation to help address food insecurity among local students and families. The grant reflects months of learning, fundraising, and community engagement by twelve Broomfield-area high school students.
One family. One vision. A lasting legacy.
One of the most meaningful moments of Heart of Broomfield’s May 28th evening was recognizing Jack Jr. and Penny TerHar and the TerHar family with the Enduring Heart Lifetime Achievement Award. More than 25 years ago, Jack's $100,000 challenge gift inspired our community to establish the Legacy Fund Endowment with a vision of reaching $1 million. While the journey took longer than expected, that vision became reality—and today the Legacy Fund has grown to more than $2 million.
Their story reminds us how a single act of philanthropy can inspire generations of community impact. We invite you to watch the special film that recounts the TerHar’s impact.
The Next Million: A New Challenge for Broomfield's Future
More than twenty-five years ago, local businessman and philanthropist Jack TerHar Jr. challenged the community to think beyond immediate needs and invest in Broomfield's future.

His $100,000 challenge gift inspired the creation of the Legacy Fund Endowment, with an ambitious goal of reaching $1 million. Through the generosity of countless donors, that vision became reality.
Today, the Legacy Fund Endowment exceeds $2 million and continues to provide permanent support for local nonprofits, scholarships, and community initiatives.
At the final Heart of Broomfield celebration, Jack issued a new challenge.
