Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize Colorado nonprofits (especially in Greeley/Weld County) providing direct human services—e.g., domestic violence shelters, food banks, youth programs, or community centers—seeking general operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • Located in Colorado, ideally serving Weld County / Greeley area.
- • Direct services in domestic violence response, food security, youth development, or community centers.
- • Requests include general operating or core program support.
- • Has local credibility or a connection/nomination from a community intermediary or board contact.
- • Track record of prior local impact and financial stewardship.
Geography
Giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in Colorado (about 97% of dollars in 2024), with only small out-of-state awards despite three states being represented that year.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 24 distinct grantees across a range of human-service causes and multiple independent organizations, and the foundation funded many different organizations each year over the three-year record.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial turnover and new grantees (14 new recipients in 2024), but the foundation’s stated practice is to fund only preselected recipients, so unfamiliar organizations would likely need nominations, introductions, or intermediary referrals rather than a public application route.
