The Capital Project Funding is intended to directly support non-profit organizations in completing needed capital projects to ensure a long-term physical presence in or around the City of Boulder.
The Community, Culture, Resilience and Safety (CCRS) Tax Grant Program is funded through the Community, Culture, Resilience and Safety Tax, a 0.3% dedicated sales and use tax intended for citywide capital infrastructure needs. The tax, previously known as the Community, Culture and Safety Tax, was initially authorized by voters in 2014 and was extended in 2017 and again under its current name in 2021. The tax was extended a final time in 2025 to be in perpetuity. The city may use up to 10% of the resulting tax revenue to fund a grant pool for non-profit organization projects.
