Golden Schools:
Since 1987, the Foundation has provided
funds for the After Prom Party. It has also
contributed to the emergency fund and the
student awards program. In 1997 and 1998,
the Foundation has helped defray the cost of
computers at Mitchell School and computer
software at
Golden High School.
Jefferson
Symphony Orchestra: Beginning in 1987,
the Foundation has provided funds for the
Young Artist Contest. In 1997, the
Foundation requested that their donation be
used as prize money for the two first place
awards at the contest.
Tying
Neighborhoods Together: In 1993, the
Foundation has provided the seed money to
begin this community organization that has
grown into a vary valuable asset for Golden.
Since 1993, the Foundation has provided
funds for office equipment, development of a
business plan, and a subscription to a job
market publication.
Christian
Action Guild: The Guild has been
recipient of funds for the food bank, to
purchase shoes for the needy and replace
items destroyed in a fire. In 1997, the
Foundation agreed to conduct a fund raising
campaign for the construction of a new and
permanent thrift shop and food bank. The
fund raiding effort was successful and the
building has been paid for.
Foothills Art Center: This is the
largest single recipient of funds from the
foundation. Most of the funds from the funds
were used for expansion of the center, to
assist in the purchase of a second building
and for debt reduction.
Museums:
The Civic Foundation has assisted the
Astor House,
Golden Pioneer Museum and
Rocky Mountain
Quilt Museum in a variety of ways. This
includes the purchase of office equipment
and furniture, helping defray the cost of
publishing brochures, supporting historic
events and art festivals, and for repair and
maintenance costs.
City of Golden: The Civic Foundation has
made major contributions to the expansion
and beautification of many of the city parks
and downtown district. Typical items include
expansion of Ulysses Park, repainting the
Golden Arch, upgrading signage, and numerous
other small projects.
Golden Cemetery:
Through a directed donation from a memorial
fund, the Civic Foundation has provided
considerable assistance in the installation
of an automatic sprinkler system for the
Golden Cemetery. The funds from the
Foundation are combined with funds from the
city for this project that is expected to be
completed in the next few years.
Other: Many
other charitable organizations in Golden
have received grants or donations from the
Civic Foundation. These include the Lions
Club, Optimist Club,
Golden Urban
Renewal Authority,
Public
Library, Golden Trolley Authority, and
the
