The city supports organizations that honor, celebrate and raise awareness for Immigrant Heritage Month and Juneteenth in the context of the Boulder community.

The City of Boulder will open Human Relations Fund (HRF) rolling applications for 2026 Immigrant Heritage Month and Juneteenth events today, Thursday, April 16, 2026.

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.

Immigrant Heritage Month events and celebrations should honor and celebrate Boulder's rich, diverse immigrant populations and their integration into the civic, economic and cultural life of the Boulder community.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, is an important part of American history as it commemorates the official end of slavery on June 19, 1865. Juneteenth celebration events honor and raise awareness of the independence this holiday represents for African Americans.

Applications for this fund round will close on Monday, May 18, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Both English and Spanish applications are available.
