The Boettcher Foundation is dedicated to assisting, promoting, and encouraging the residents of the state of Colorado. This program builds on the Foundation's history of promoting leadership development in Colorado through the Boettcher Scholars Program and the Boettcher Teachers Program. Colorado's arts and cultural organizations are one of the state's great treasures, and the Foundation believes this is the right time to invest in their ongoing impact on the Colorado community.
Arts and cultural organizations serve an important role in enriching the lives of Colorado residents and leading these organizations is a constant, and constantly changing challenge. By partnering with NAS, the Foundation is providing an unprecedented level of education specifically for the arts and cultural leaders of Colorado and helping to sustain this treasured resource.
