Community Grants
Funding local nonprofits that improve life in the Broomfield community.
The Broomfield Rotary Charitable Foundation, Inc. continues to grow through the generosity of our members as well as people and organizations that support our annual fundraising efforts. Income from these fundraising efforts is used annually to support grants and other service activities that benefit the Broomfield community.
The Rotary Foundation offers grants that support a wide variety of projects, scholarships, and training that Rotarians are doing around the world. Explore the three grant types and find one that’s right for your project.

The appropriate department will review the request and, if approved for referral, forward it to the Broomfield Rotary Charitable Foundation for consideration. Final funding decisions are made by the Foundation's Board of Directors.
Random Acts of Kindness
Rotary Random Acts of Kindness Fund:
- PURPOSE: The purpose of this fund is to enable The Broomfield Rotary Club to make small but meaningful gifts (up to $500 maximum) to individuals in need of help due to medical, dental, school, auto repair help, etc.
- WHO WOULD QUALIFY: Any Broomfield resident, employee, or student.
- WHY: There is a significant number of working individuals who do not qualify for governmental or program assistance but occasionally need help with dental work, school costs, and other expenses. This outreach program by Rotary aims to assist those in need within our community, expanding our charitable footprint. These grants are provided directly to individuals who may not qualify for other programs but still require support.
- PAYMENTS: Payments are made to the service providers. Direct repayment to the recipient will only occur in specific circumstances and when an invoice or proof of payment is provided.
