Watch us draw the winner for our fundraising sweepstakes for the Gibson Custom Shop ES-355 Wildwood Spec!

Congrats to our big winner, Dennis Estep. May you play this guitar in good health!

And a big thank you to everyone who participated in our fundraiser. Because of you, we have been able to award nine grants this year to indie film projects, wahoo!

Shoutout to Wildwood Guitars in Louisville, Colorado, where we filmed this video. Wildwood has been a HUGE supporter of our efforts and we are so grateful.

And another shoutout to Coupe Studios in Boulder—they have been so good to us and generous with our grant award recipients. Thank you, Coupe Studios Music + Sound Design

If you didn't win... stay tuned! We have more fun fundraisers in the works that we think you'll like, a lot 😍

We’re excited to share an update from one of our 2026 grant finalist projects! 🎬

Boulder filmmaker Erin Preston has officially wrapped filming on Breaking Ground: A Community Rises Together and is hosting a fundraiser on September 30 to raise the funds needed to complete post-production.

The documentary follows Maribel, a working mother of three, on her journey to own the first modular home built at BoulderMod - an innovative effort to make homeownership possible for working families in one of the country’s most expensive cities.

On September 30, Flatiron Habitat for Humanity is opening the doors of the BoulderMod factory for a special Finish Line Fundraiser:

🏠 Tour the BoulderMod factory - 6500 Arapahoe Rd, Boulder
