Ideal Applicant
Small- to mid-sized charities seeking general operating support, especially organizations with a Colorado connection or existing relationship to the foundation or its grantee network.
Good Fit
- • Requesting unrestricted or general operating support in the $2K–$60K range.
- • Located in Colorado or already connected to intermediaries, current grantees, or board networks.
- • Organizational mission aligns with education, health, community arts, or similar causes the foundation has funded.
- • Capacity to accept relatively small, one-time or annual grants rather than large multi-year program grants.
Geography
Observed grants span 21 states over recent years; while Colorado receives a large share (~41% of dollars), a clear national footprint exists with the majority of dollars going outside the foundation's state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 135 distinct organizations across multiple sectors, and roughly 40% of those were new recipients that year, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set for a small private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct public application routes are absent and the foundation states it makes grants only to preselected applicants, but behavioral evidence shows substantial newcomer intake (about 54 new grantees in the latest year), so new entrants can be funded though unsolicited applications appear unlikely to be successful without introductions.
