Ideal Applicant
Small to mid-sized nonprofits working in education, environmental conservation, or services for women and children, with either a Colorado presence or a clear programmatic fit with stated priorities.
Good Fit
- • Clear program alignment with education, environmental/animal conservation, or women’s and children’s health and services.
- • Existing relationship, referral, or prior contact with a trustee or the foundation’s network.
- • Capacity to manage modest one-time grants (typical awards in the low thousands).
- • Operations or programming in Colorado or a demonstrable impact that aligns with the foundation’s regional interests.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached seven different states with about 41% of dollars directed to Colorado, showing a multi-state footprint with a Colorado emphasis.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 12 distinct recipients across diverse purposes (education, human services, health, conservation) with seven new entrants and five repeat grantees, indicating a moderately broad portfolio for a micro private foundation.
New Applicants
Direct filings and the website state that the foundation only funds preselected applicants, yet the latest year includes seven new recipients; this suggests new entrants can join but usually via invitation, referral, or another curated route rather than unsolicited cold applications.
