The BCH Foundation was established in 1978 and exists to enhance the quality and availability of health care services in Boulder County by generating and administering all charitable gifts to our nonprofit community-owned hospital system. We aspire to be a significant contributor to assist BCH with maintaining its role as a premier provider of health care in Boulder County. Through public education and information exchange, we encourage philanthropic giving that is used to enhance patient and family care.
We help enable our locally-owned and governed nonprofit health care system to innovate and stay at the forefront of medical advancements and technology while also providing full access to emergency care to all Boulder County citizens. Fundraising, coupled with diligent management of the Foundation’s endowment, allows us to award meaningful grants to the health system for enhancing health care. Because of community involvement, Boulder Community Health will continue to be the most caring, inviting and well-equipped health care system in the area.
