Our Mission
The Temple Hoyne Buell Foundation is a
professional philanthropic organization supporting the positive development of
children through grants and partnerships with other sectors of our community.
The Foundation will focus primarily on the state of Colorado and
concentrate its grantmaking on programs that benefit children.
Our Focus
The
Buell Foundation currently funds in two areas of interest:
-
Early
Childhood Education and Development - We
will consider proposals in the following areas that directly support the
healthy development of very young children: early childhood and preschool
programs, home visitation, professional development and education for
service providers, parent and child interaction, parenting education,
language development/early literacy, and behavior and social competence in
classroom situations. The
Foundation also supports systems building work around these issues.
-
Teen
Pregnancy Prevention - Programs should be comprehensive and should be able to prove
effectiveness.
Our funding priority at this time is on programs
that support the education and development of children zero to five.
In the last fiscal year, over 90% of grants paid were in that category.
As we move forward, our work will increasingly concentrate on this
pivotal time in a young child’s life. In
addition, please note that it is also a priority for the Foundation to fund
programs in rural Colorado. In
recent years, over 65% of grants were awarded to programs serving communities
outside the Denver metro area.
We encourage phone calls and would
be happy to talk with you at anytime during the grantmaking process. Our
number is 303-744-1688, and our office hours are Monday - Friday from 8:30 am - 5:00
pm. You can also contact us via
email - all staff email addresses can be found on the Contact
Us page.

released the newly developed Colorado Early Learning & Development
Guidelines. These Guidelines present the developmental
trajectory of a child's life from birth through age eight. For
each age level, the guidelines address approaches to learning, health
and physical development, social and emotional development, language,
literacy, numeracy, logic and reasoning, and other subject-specific
learning.
