The Spirit of Philanthropy in Brighton, Colorado

The Brighton Legacy Foundation promotes the spirit of philanthropy and improves the quality of life for all residents in Brighton, Colorado

Our Partners: Brighton Employee Charities
The Brighton Employee Charities (BEC) is committed to enhancing the lives of children and families in the Brighton community by providing resources to make a positive impact throughout the year. We rely on contributions by both the City of Brighton Employees and Community Partnerships. In 2023, BEC collaborated with Brighton Legacy Foundation to help improve the community and found that working together would benefit both organizations and more importantly help to increase or enhance the programs and funding offered to residents in need.
