The Boulder Jewish Community Foundation (BJCF) was founded in 1995 with a mission to create “a gathering place where Jewish life will flourish.”
Early in the BJCF’s history, we:
- acquired facilities for a Jewish preschool (1996),
- acquired a much larger facility for the Boulder Jewish Community Center (1999),
- raised $1 million for an endowment to support future operational (space) needs of the Boulder Jewish community, with the support of the Rose Community Foundation and the Allied Jewish Federation of Colorado(2002), and
- spun off the Boulder Jewish Community Center into an independent non-profit organization (2005).
The Boulder Jewish Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible. If you’re interested in supporting additional activities of the BJCF and Jewish life in the greater Boulder area, contact BoulderJewish@gmail.com. Since the organization currently has no employees and all work (including annual tax preparations) is performed on a volunteer basis, all funds available for allocation (100%) are distributed to community organizations. Overhead fees are absent!
