Ideal Applicant
A Colorado-based nonprofit working in education, workforce development, youth programs, or local community initiatives seeking modest to mid-sized project or event support and able to be nominated or otherwise come to the foundation’s attention.
Good Fit
- • Organizational presence and operations in Colorado.
- • Programs in education, workforce development, youth development, scholarships, or community events.
- • Requests for modest grants (typical awards range roughly from a few hundred to about $25K).
- • Existing local partnerships, university or chamber connections, or visibility in Colorado civic networks.
- • Opportunities that can be funded as a one-time project, event, or scholarship installment.
Geography
Giving is heavily concentrated in Colorado: roughly 98% of grant dollars in the latest year went to organizations in that state even though a few other states appear in the count.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows a broad set of recipients—48 grants to 42 distinct organizations with 30 newly funded groups—indicating a wide and diverse recipient portfolio for the foundation’s size.
New Applicants
Direct behavior shows many new recipients in 2023 (30 new grantees), which indicates new entrants can be funded, but application materials explicitly state the funder only supports preselected applicants, so unsolicited applicants likely face a limited path.
