May 6, 2024

The generosity of your donations to the Boulder Junction Community Foundation enables the organization to invest back into local organizations like these twice a year. Your gifts continue to fund a shared vision to create a better future for our local area.

It is a great honor for the Foundation to grant the following requests:

  • Boulder Junction Chamber of Commerce has been awarded $1,820 for the purchase of additional trail counters to be used on bike, hiking and snowmobiling trails in our area. The data gathered will assist the Chamber in ranking and promoting these amenities to visitors considering our community for their recreational fun.
  • Boulder Junction Volunteer Fire Department expressed their request for a grant to address their need for drop tank upgrades to replace two older tanks that are near the end of their useful life. The award of $5,500 will ensure readiness for emergencies the department faces in their service to the community.
  • The North Lakeland Discovery Center will use their grants funds of $1,970 to provide an exciting new, free, three-part educational series focusing on Boulder Junction’s woods and water resources. An evening presentation, a 3-mile hike and a full-day canoe trip are planned.
  • The Town of Boulder Junction will receive grant assistance of $5,000 towards the Parks & Recreation’s exciting Basketball Court project, which will provide a new, enlarged and updated sports court feature that will be located between the Community Center and the Playground/Ballpark facilities.

Thank you for your continued support.

The fall grant application cycle closes on September 10, 2024.
