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, parent information and support, 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 - see staff list on the Contact Us page.

Application for the
Buell Early Childhood Leadership Program
The University of Colorado Denver is
accepting applications for our next cohort of the Buell Early Childhood
Leadership Program. This program is cohort structured and includes 18 graduate-level credit hours. The
program’s coursework culminates in a graduate-level certificate with
opportunities for Buell Fellows to move forward for masters and doctoral
programs in several different disciplines.
The integrated courses focus on seven types of leadership essential
for the preparation of professionals in the early care and education
sector. One hundred and sixteen Buell Fellows have completed the
program to date and have been deployed as leaders and change agents across
Colorado. To find more information about the program and to apply, visit the
program's website by clicking here.
