About Us

Since 1970, the Golden Civic Foundation has invested more than $6.7 million for the betterment of the Golden community and partnered with residents, government, businesses, schools and non-profit organizations to achieve lasting, positive change. The Foundation has been instrumental in numerous development projects that have touched nearly every square inch of downtown Golden. A few examples of these projects include the development of the Miners Alley Playhouse/Meyer Hardware project, Golden Visitor’s Center, Table Mountain Inn, American Mountaineering Center, Golden Hotel, Clear Creek Commons senior housing, Gateway Station retail and residential, numerous Parking Lots, and much of the Downtown Streetscape and Public Art collection. Our mission is to help protect Goldens special character and allow the community to thrive via many important community projects that might not happen otherwise!
