The Zonta Foothills Club of Boulder County is celebrating its 40th anniversary supporting women and girls in our community. A group of advocates who believe that the power of a few make a difference for many, the Boulder Club’s mission is to “Build a Better World for Women and Girls.” Their Zonta EducateZ program is doing just that through scholarships, leadership clubs, and other hands-on support for women’s education.
Since 2001 our members have raised more than $400,000 for community programs that support women and girls and we have contributed more than 30,000 volunteer hours to support community-based and international projects. These funds have supported our Boulder High School PantherZ Z Club, The Flatirons Golden Z Club, and seven local scholarships.
In addition, Zonta focuses on improving the lives of women through advocacy and partnerships with local organizations like the Boulder County Domestic Violence Response Team, Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Non-Violence, Moving to End Sexual Assault, Boulder Mental Health Department, Emergency Family Assistance Association, Community Foodshare, The Reentry Initiative and others. We also fund international projects in conjunction with Zonta International.
