The mission of the Boulder County Medical Society Foundation is to save lives by improving health and preventing disease in our community. We do this through education, advocacy and research.

The Boulder County Medical Society (BCMS) Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). in 2023.

The BCMS has existed as a 501(c)(6) membership non-profit organization since 1952. Membership organizations like BCMS are not allowed to receive tax-deductible charitable donations that can benefit the community in which they live and work..

The BCMS Foundation inception has emerged from the BCMS as a way to give back to our communities in charitable ways that will benefit their health and well-being.

The BCMS Foundation’s inaugural project is the Opioid Awareness Project. The Boulder County Medical Society (BCMS) and the BCMS Foundation are committed to addressing the drug poisoning crisis in our area by educating not only our patients and their family members, but the ENTIRE Boulder community.

Our mission is two-fold. First, we are committed to distributing thousands of OPIOID AWARENESS CARDS to the Boulder County community to help educate EVERYONE about the opioid and fentanyl crisis and the ways to prevent continued overdose deaths and fentanyl poisonings.

Second, BCMS and the BCMS Foundation have developed a comprehensive OPIOID EPIDEMIC DIGITAL GUIDE with important resources for everyone from students to educators to athletes to parents to grandparents. This guide includes essential information for everyone to understand the risks our community faces and to direct you to resources so that you can play an ACTIVE role in stopping this toxic and deadly epidemic.

Please consider working with us to confront the opioid epidemic by uniting together as a community. Everyone in Boulder County needs to know how to keep yourself, your family and friends, and your community safe. The BCMS Opioid Awareness Project is led by physicians volunteering their time to educate our community. Funds are needed to offset the direct costs of our projects.
