Give local. Give now. Golden strong.

Golden is growing and changing—much of it exciting, some of it challenging. 

Parents and teachers are opening new doors for youth to feel connected, nonprofits are uncovering fresh resources to navigate funding shortages, and small businesses are sharpening their efficiencies to offset rising costs.  Your gift to Golden Civic Foundation supports these efforts and so much more. 

For more than 50 years, we’ve put over $20 million to work in Golden—strengthening nonprofits, energizing local businesses, and bringing transformative civic projects to life.  We know the needs of the Golden community and how to put your dollars to work fast. 

“We love donating to Golden Civic Foundation on Colorado Gives Day—it’s so rewarding to know our gift goes right back into our incredible Golden community and schools. GCF feels like a trusted friend who always knows where help is needed most.”

—The McKenna Family, Golden residents and GCF supporters
