Fort Collins Forever

Fort Collins Forever is a giving group of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado. A giving group is composed of community-minded people who pool their charitable dollars in a common fund. Members of this group enhance their understanding of philanthropy and their appreciation for the valuable work of local nonprofit agencies. Members are welcome to make their annual donation, observe its impact, and attend annual celebrations without further involvement. However, sharing time and talents on subcommittees that provide leadership to the giving group can make membership even more rewarding.

Because the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado is a tax-exempt public charity, donations to our giving groups are tax-deductible.

  • Fort Collins Forever has awarded nearly $160,000 in grants since its inception in 1998. The Fort Collins Forever Fund is valued at $320,000.
  • Participation in Fort Collins Forever requires a minimum annual donation of $500. Click here to contribute to the Fort Collins Forever Fund.
