Golden Civic Foundation

A special day in Golden 🎨

Pat Madison, Golden Legacy Fund Founding Member and GCF Board Member, led an art tour through downtown, sharing the stories behind some of the pieces that make our community so unique. This experience was generously purchased by Susie McInerney at GCF’s Annual Gala & Auction—a perfect example of how supporting local philanthropy comes full circle.

GCF has been instrumental in shaping the public art we all enjoy today. Beginning with the establishment of the Golden Public Art Partnership in 1999, GCF has ensured that art is part of Golden’s identity—not an afterthought, but something woven into everyday life.

From iconic sculptures to hidden gems, Golden’s art scene reflects decades of vision, collaboration, and commitment to community.

Outdoor Lab has been enriching the lives of sixth-grade and high school students in Jefferson County for more than 60 years. GCF is proud to support another year of tuition assistance through Outdoor Lab Foundation so every student has the opportunity to develop a stewardship of self, community, and environment!

We are excited to announce that we received a $2,750 grant from the Golden Civic Foundation to help support our tuition assistance program ensuring ALL students get to go to Outdoor Lab regardless of financial situations.

Thank you Golden Civic Foundation for investing in our community! It's thanks to partners like you that keep Outdoor Lab going strong. 🌲🙏💚
