Downtown Golden has come alive over the past
decade. New hotels, restaurants and businesses; expanded parking, improved
parks, and decorative touches from flower boxes to holiday lights are
visible and welcome signs of the downtown transformation. What is not
so visible is the central role the Golden Civic Foundation has played
in the city's revitalization.
Created in 1970 by local community leaders, the
Golden Civic Foundation helps bridge the gap between public funds and
public needs by raising money from private sources for making the
community a better place to live. Funds are raised from an annual auction,
investment earnings,
and donations from local businesses and individuals.
...has benefited from the Golden Civic Foundation's
efforts during the last three decades. From the Table Mountain Inn to
the American Mountaineering Center,the Golden Visitors Center to the Golden
Hotel, the Foundation has invested more than $850,000 to economic and
community development since 1970. Another $1,000,000 has gone to enhance schools, charities and cultural
organizations throughout the city.
Consider
naming the Golden Civic Foundation in your will.
