Berthoud, a community of approximately 5,300 people, became a part of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado in 1995. 

Berthoud Community Fund Committee

The Berthoud Community Fund Committee provides input to the Board of Trustees and staff. This group is responsible for grantmaking from unrestricted funds established in the Berthoud community. The following civic leaders have volunteered to serve on this committee to guide specific areas of the Foundation's work.

Berthoud Bequest is a giving group of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado. A giving group is composed of community-minded people who pool their charitable dollars in a common fund. Members of this group enhance their understanding of philanthropy and their appreciation for the valuable work of local nonprofit agencies. Members are welcome to make their annual donation, observe its impact, and attend annual celebrations without further involvement. However, sharing time and talents on subcommittees that provide leadership to the giving group can make membership even more rewarding.

Because the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado is a tax-exempt public charity, donations to our giving groups are tax-deductible.
