#2 | May 2025
I want to start by expressing deep gratitude for your continued support in sharing your projects on the Hive’s website—this collective visibility strengthens our unity and amplifies our shared impact.
I’m also honored to share that I was recently invited to join the Community Creation Committee for Boulder County’s inaugural Climate Equity Fund. I see this opportunity as a reflection of the bridge-building work many of you have led—linking grassroots wisdom with institutional change. I carry what I’ve learned from and alongside you into this new role (applications will open later this summer!).
In these turbulent times, when federal narratives seek to divide, your work to cultivate community cohesion, equitable education, access to information, and connection to the earth is more vital than ever. Keep going—we see you, we need you, and we’re in this together.
With much gratitude,
–Katie

Important Update from the City of Boulder
The City’s 2026 Health Equity and Human Services Funds will shift to an invite-only process, prioritizing currently funded programs and a select few others. No open call for applications this year due to limited funding and strategic focus. Katie is seeking information about whether these funds will be opened by Boulder County or City of Longmont, as they have been in the past.
