Ideal Applicant
A small Colorado-based nonprofit (especially in Broomfield/nearby Denver suburbs) working in youth development, education, human services, or local community programs seeking modest unrestricted grants.
Good Fit
- • Local presence in Colorado, ideally in Broomfield/Arvada/Westminster/Erie area.
- • Programs serving youth, schools, food assistance, or community service.
- • Requests for modest amounts in the $500–$5,000 range for operating or program support.
- • Existing local relationships or introductions from community groups or recurring grantees.
Geography
Observed giving across the two available years is entirely to Colorado recipients, with a 100% in-state share and one state represented.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows six distinct independent grantees covering schools, youth organizations, and human services; those same six appear in both observed years, giving a modest but not extensive recipient set for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
The foundation states it only funds preselected applicants and the two-year record shows no new grantees entering the portfolio, so unfamiliar applicants appear unlikely to gain entry without an introduction or invitation.
