In most cases, because Worthy Cause <br />funding is limited - and the demand for funding far <br />exceeds available funds - the match amount is much <br />greater than the minimum requirement. <br />This report will focus on Worthy Cause III <br />(2009 -present), to highlight how sales tax dollars have <br />been strategically invested through Worthy Cause to <br />help address several key issues in Boulder County. <br />Each section contains summaries of just a few of the <br />projects that have been made possible through your <br />sales tax contributions - with a complete list of projects <br />in each section and at the end of the report. We hope <br />to provide a glimpse at the tangible role Worthy Cause <br />funding has played in helping many Boulder County <br />residents live better, fuller lives. <br />7 <br />Boulder County Worthy Cause 111 2 <br />
