Since 1989, the Scientific & Cultural Facilities District (SCFD) has dramatically reshaped the landscape of Colorado communities. As a result, Denver is now in the national spotlight and has been elevated in stature to a world-class cultural center.The SCFD is a unique collaboration between rural, suburban and urban counties. The distribution budget for scientific and cultural organizations in the seven-county area is approximately $40 million annually. And we've discovered that funding on that scale, delivered to a local area, makes a profound impact.Tier II represents one of the fastest growing SCFD segments. Tier II organizations include 26 regional organizations offering the best in science and culture. By statute, Tier II organizations qualify for funding based equally on two factors: 1) qualifying annual income, and 2) the organization's paid attendance. Tier II organizations receive 21% of SCFD funds.
