The Boulder Fund

Since 2018, EdLoC has committed $6.9 million in grants and funded 50 organizations across the country.


The Boulder Fund is EdLoC’s multimillion-dollar grant program designed to disrupt traditional philanthropy by placing grants directly into the hands of emerging, innovative leaders of color working across sectors to ensure young people of color have opportunities to build generational wealth and thrive. In a country where grants supporting the work of people of color range between only 9 to 12 percent of overall funding, the Boulder Fund stands tall as a transformative force.
