Loveland Generations

Loveland Generations is a giving group of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado. A giving group is composed of community-minded people who pool their charitable dollars in a common fund. Members of this group enhance their understanding of philanthropy and their appreciation for the valuable work of local nonprofit agencies. Members are welcome to make their annual donation, observe its impact, and attend annual celebrations without further involvement. However, sharing time and talents on subcommittees that provide leadership to the giving group can make membership even more rewarding.

Because the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado is a tax-exempt public charity, donations to our giving groups are tax-deductible.

  • Loveland Generations has awarded $80,000 in grants to the community since its inception in 2001. The Loveland Generations Fund is valued at more than $70,000. 
  • The group's most recent gathering was held at the home of Cliff and Mary Nemeth. Previous gatherings were held at The McCreery House, the home of Ann and Dick Hanson, the home of Rosalie and Phil Lier, the home of Dennis and Gail Daughtery, the Loveland Museum and Gallery, the studio of sculptor George Lundeen, and the home of Bruce and Muriel Hach.
  • The group has four levels of membership: Pewter ($250); Copper ($500); Marble ($750); and Bronze ($1000). Click here to contribute to the Loveland Generations Fund (indicate "Loveland Generations" in the Comments field.)
