Grants
The Boulder Valley Rotary Club working through its community service committee (everyone is welcome to join this committee) awards grants every year to nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations in the Boulder community. Our club has focused our funds and volunteer efforts on hunger needs in our community, criminal justice, mental health, environment and youth. Each year we grant over $15,000 to numerous organizations including:
Sister Carmen
Family Learning Center
PlayBoulder Foundation (Play Pass program and Tree Trust)
UpRoot Colorado
The Reentry Initiative
Focus Reentry
Remerg
Rise Against Suicide
OUTBoulder summer camp

Volunteer Programs
Most of our members lend a hand with our active volunteer program. We combine our capable hands with club funds resulting in a significant impact on needs in the community. Our volunteer efforts have included the following projects:
Playground refurbishing at Family Learning Center
Gleaning fields through UpRoot Colorado
Backpack filling for people leaving jail through Focus Reentry
Food drives
Water station at the BolderBoulder and Skyline Traverse races
Distribute dictionaries to elementary school children in the Boulder Valley School District
For over 30 years our members have made a huge beneficial event possible each year: the Share-a-Coat drive that distributes about 3,000 warm coats to needy people. We collect coats in collaboration with the Boulder Valley School District and distribute them to people in need in the Boulder Community. Art Cleaners graciously donates coat cleaning services each year.
Please join us in working together to improve our community and our world!
