Community Foundation of Northern Colorado

Happy National Volunteer Week! We would like to take a moment to acknowledge our Community Fund Committees in Berthoud, Estes Park, Fort Collins, Loveland, and Sterling. These Committees are made up of volunteers who are responsible for grantmaking from unrestricted funds established in their respective communities and provide input to the Board of Trustees and staff. The volunteers on each of these committees help make a bigger impact in their communities! Thanks to all of our committee members! #nocofoundation #communityisourbusiness #nationalvolunteerweek

"It is exactly the way she would have chosen to be honored herself." Kirsten L. Tool's family established a scholarship in her name after her passing in 1989, knowing it was exactly how she would have wanted her memory honored. The scholarship represents who she was as a person — dedicated to America and the military — and allows for other ROTC cadets to follow in her footsteps.
