The city supports organizations that honor the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and explore his work in the context of the Boulder community.
The City of Boulder will open Human Relations Fund (HRF) rolling applications for 2026 Martin Luther King Jr. Day events today, Monday, Nov. 3, 2025.
Beginning in 2026, HRF support will focus only on community-initiated events associated with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Juneteenth, Immigrant Heritage Month and Indigenous Peoples Day, that raise awareness of civil rights, human rights, or equity issues and problems in Boulder; facilitate interaction, understanding, collaboration and civic participation among diverse communities; and enable communities that experience marginalization to celebrate events significant to them while providing learning opportunities to the general population.
Applications for this fund round will close on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Both English and Spanish applications are available.
