In the aftermath of the Marshall Fire, an outpouring of donations flooded to victims who lost everything to the largest wildfire in Colorado history.

The Community Foundation, a Boulder nonprofit, took up the reigns for collecting these donations which amounted to about $43 million. It is more than many communities get after a natural disaster, but only about 2 percent of the Marshall Fire’s destruction.

KGNU has been the recipient of past community foundation grants.
