Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation receives grants, donations

April has been a wonderful month for the Colorado Agricultural Leadership Foundation.

CALFas programs and projects received a boost with nearly $7,000 in grants, donations and sponsorships this month alone. These funds will be used to build a new sensory garden for visitors (especially those with special needs), support the Connecting Kids to Agriculture school programs, and provide general support to help CALF convey the importance of agriculture in everyday life.

Bruce and his family have donated countless hours of their time to CALF over the years, and three Weinroth children were CALF Kidasaraising their 4-H livestock at the CALFas Lowell Ranch to show at the Douglas County Fair.

The Colorado Garden Foundation, whose two annual fundraisers are the Colorado Garden & Home Show and the Colorado Fall Home Show, awarded $470,000 to 59 recipients this year.

Founded in 2002, the Colorado Agriculture Leadership Foundation at Lowell Ranch on Plum Creek three miles south of Castle Rock is a 133-acre working educational ranch that aconnects people to agriculturea through authentic educational programs, special events and community projects.
