City Opens Funding Applications for 2027 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day Events

The City of Boulder will open rolling applications for 2027 Martin Luther King Jr. Day events today, Monday, Nov. 9, 2026. Events will be co-funded by the Human Relations Fund (HRF) and Office of Arts and Culture.

In 2027, HRF support will continue to 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 are rolling and will close on Monday, Dec. 7, at 4:00 p.m. Both English and Spanish applications are available.

Learn more about available Human Relations Funds and find application information on the city's website.
