The PLAY Boulder Foundation is the official non-profit partner of Boulder's Parks and Recreation Department.
Our mission is to support excellence in parks and recreation by mobilizing community support through education, philanthropy, and advocacy. We enhance local public spaces, preserve Boulder’s environment, and expand access to recreation programs.
End-of-year giving is one of the greatest ways to support!
Year-end is the perfect time to consider giving to PLAY Boulder. Philanthropic giving can offer valuable benefits—whether you’re looking to reduce taxes, capture stock market gains, make a required IRA distribution, or take advantage of Colorado’s income tax credit of up to 25%.
Please keep us in mind this upcoming Colorado Gives Day on December 10th, 2024.
