PHAMALY

Since 1989, Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) has distributed funds from a 1/10 of 1% sales and use tax to cultural facilities throughout the seven-county Denver metropolitan area. The funds support cultural facilities whose primary purpose is to enlighten and entertain the public through the production, presentation, exhibition, advancement and preservation of art, music, theatre, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.

On July 1, 2010 Governor Ritter signed legislation establishing Colorado Creative Industries as a division of the Office of Economic Development and International Trade. Colorado Creative Industries combines the former Colorado Council on the Arts, the Office of Film, Television and Media and the Art in Public Places Program. Our new strategic plan will carry on our most effective programs and services, but it will also incorporate new approaches to support Colorado’s creative sector. The final plan will be ready this fall, but our mission and program priorities are coming into focus:

Mission: to promote, support and expand the creative industries to drive Colorado’s economy, grow jobs, and enhance our quality of life.

The Denver Foundation is a community foundation serving the seven counties of Metro Denver.

We were created by and for the people of Metro Denver with one goal – to make our community a better place to live, now and in the future.

As Colorado’s oldest and largest community foundation, we provide the expertise and leadership to help people give back to Metro Denver in ways that are meaningful — to them and to the community.

The Bonfils-Stanton Foundation invests in metro-Denver visual and performing arts organizations that demonstrate artistic excellence, visionary leadership, financial stability and adaptive capacity. They look to partner with arts organizations, arts leaders, and arts collaborations making innovative and adaptive responses to changes in demographics, patterns of cultural engagement, and new market realities. We look for organizations that are “on the rise” and positioned for greater impact.

The Pioneer Fund is a private family foundation established by Helen M. McLoraine, a pioneer who broke new ground for women by assuming leadership roles in the oil and gas business in the 1950s. Influenced by her mother, McLoraine established The Pioneer Fund to continue her lifelong support of projects and organizations that focus on medical research, education and social welfare. As a philanthropist, she also supported more than 50 amateur skaters along with The Pioneer Fund Board member and Olympic gold medalist Scott Hamilton.

About Westerra Credit Union:

In 1934, eight visionary leaders organized DPS Credit Union, a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned and controlled by the members who use its services. Its purpose was to put the members first when offering financial services and treat them as valued owners. Today, the Credit Union remains focused on that same mission and purpose.

The Credit Union’s name was changed to Westerra Credit Union in 2006 to better reflect its growing and diverse membership. DPS Credit Union and Safeway Rocky Mountain Credit Union merged in 2005, followed by the merger of Gateway Credit Union in in 2006 and Jeffco Credit Union in 2009.
